[Verse 1]
When I see those big brown eyes
That's when I take my cue
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

[Verse 2]
If I was twenty-three years old
And you were twenty-two
I bet no one would try to run
Our life 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

[Verse 3]
If I was in San Diego
And you were in Portland, Maine
I'd fly to you lock, stock and bond
In hail, fog or rain
Over the mountains, through the valley
Coming home to each other
It don't take us but a few minutes
To get to one another
[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 1]
When I saw those big brown eyes
That's when I took my cue
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 another
It don't take us but a few minutes
To understand each other
