I Don't Take But A Few Minutes

If I was twenty-three years old and you were twenty-two
I bet no one would try to run, like the way they do
We’d take a chance and try romance and be true to one and other
It don’t take us but a few minutes when we want each other.

If I was in San Diego and you were on the border of the Maine
I’d fly to you like stockin’ fun, hail, board the rain
Over the mountain, through the valley, comin’ home to each other
It don’t take us but a few minutes to get to one and other.

You would write a love song and play on my guitar
And if you should in Hollywood we’d come in movie stars
Would you let your heart to get, I love you and you own me,
It don't take but a few minutes when you're feelin' low.

When I saw those big brown eyes, that’s when I took my cues
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 and other
It don’t take us but a few minutes to understand each other.
