[Verse 1:]

A material girl

In her own world

Can't even see the things she's missing

Right in the curve

A little girl, wanting to grow up

And be a star

Take a look around

Stop looking down

All these things have blurred your vision

Material things don't go up to nothing



[Hook:]

But I know how you feel

It's hard to see what's real



[Chorus:]

It takes time (time) living in a world

When you don't know who to trust

Next time (time), slow it down

And don't feel you have to rush

It'll be fine

Takes time, takes time to love



[Verse 2:]

And I'm a tell the truth

When it comes to you, my lady

And it's a miracle

You have found a conscience, baby

I had a plan on leaving

You came and gave a reason

Now I know the reason why



[Hook:]

But I know how you feel (you feel)

It's hard to see what's real

(What's real, yeah)



[Chorus:]

It takes time (time) living in a world

When you don't know who to trust

Next time (time), slow it down

And don't feel you have to rush

It'll be fine

Takes time (takes time)

Takes time (takes time) to love (love)
