I need fifteen minutes to work up my nerve Fifteen more to think of what to say to her I ain't tryin' to win a fight I don't have to be right I need one thing tonight give me time I need one more night to show how I feel One more week to prove that my love is real I ain't asking for the moon or snowballs in June I need one thing and soon give me time Give me time to make amends get back to being friends Don't let it all run out before she loves me again give me time [ steel ] Make it one day later that she quits me for good One day sooner that I treat her like I should I ain't just asking for gold or to never grow old Just to have and to hold give me time Give me time to make amends... Give me time Give me time to make amends...
