I know the reason 
you turn your back 
on things that you don't wanna hear. 
I know this feelin' 
I get from you 
when you try to act so sincere. 

But I don't know 
what's making you behave this way. 
I'm gonna go, 
you never hear a word I say. 
You better learn to 

Take a little time 
to show me that you care for me. 
Take a little time 
to show me you're still there for me. 

I know the danger, 
you're holding all the cards 
because you think I'll wait. 
You're like a stranger, 
you better show your hand 
before it gets too late. 

But I don't know 
what's making you behave this way. 
I'm gonna go, 
I might as well just walk away, 
if you don't learn to 

Take a little time 
to show me that you care for me. 
You gotta take a little time 
to show me you're still there for me. 
You better take a little time 
to show me what's been going on. 
It's been like this for much too long. 
Take a little time. 

Don't hand me all these lines. 
My eyes are open wide now. 
Don't give me all your lies. 
I'm gettin' much too wise for you. 
Take a little time. 
Yeah. 

But I don't know 
what's making you behave this way. 
You never hear a word I say. 
I might as well just walk away, 
if you don't learn to 

Take a little time 
to show me that you care for me. 
You better take a little time 
to show me you're still there for me. 
You gotta take a little time 
to show me what's been going on. 
It's been like this for much too long. 
Take a little time. 
You gotta take a little time. 

I'm tellin' you, 
you gotta take a little, 
take a little time. 
Take a little time. 
Take a little, 
take a little time. 

You gotta take a little, 
take a little, 
you gotta take a little, 
take a little time. 

I'm tellin' you. 
Take a little, 
take a little time. 

Take a little, 
take a little time.
