It's gonna take some time this time To get myself in shape. I really fell out of line this time, I really missed the gate. The birds on the telephone like, (next time) Are cryin' out to me, (next time) And I won't be so blind next time, And I'll find some harmony. But it's going to take some time this time, And I can't make demands. But, like the young trees in the winter time, I'll learn how to bend. After all the tears we've spent, How could we make amends? So, it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again, And it's going to take some time this time! But it's going to take some time this time, No matter what I've planned. And, like the young trees in the winter time, I'll learn how to bend. After all the tears we've spent, How could we make amends? So, it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again, And it's going to take some time this time!
In the midst of recording their A Song For You album, Richard and Karen were having a quadraphonic system installed in the sound room at their home. By chance, the engineer was testing their system with a quad test pressing of the Carole King Music album. They were knocked out by It's Going To Take Some Time and decided to include it on their album. Melodically, Carole King and the Carpenters make a perfect merger, and this song became another big Carpenters hit of 1972.
