When I see those big brown eyes is when I take my queue
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 twenty-three years old and you were twenty-two
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 mountains, through the valleys, 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
