It Don't Take but a Few Minutes Songtext
von Chuck Berry

When I see those big brown eyes is when I take my cue
It don′t take me but a few minutes to get a message through
I talked to you and you talked to me and we talked to one another
It don't take us but a few minutes to understand each other

If I was 23 years old and you were 22
I bet no one would try to run our lives the way they do
We take a chance and try romance, be true to one another
It don′t take us but a few minutes when we want each other


If I was in San Diego and you were in Portland, Maine
I'd fly to you lock, stock and bone in hail and pouring rain
Over the mountain, through the valley, coming home to each other
It don't take us but a few minutes to get to one another

You would write a love song and play on my guitar
And if you should, in Hollywood, become a movie star
Would you let your heart forget I loved you and you only
It don′t take but a few minutes when you′re feeling lonely

When I saw those big brown eyes is when I took my cue
It didn't take me but a few minutes to get a message through
I talked to her and she talked to me and we talked to one another
It don′t take us but a few minutes to understand each other
