It Only Takes A Moment
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It only takes a minute girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only takes a minute girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
What's an hour of the day
We throw at least one away
To try to find a new career
If you get a flu attack
For thirty days you're on your back
Doing not a single dance
Baby give me half a chance
It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love
Now in the unemployment lines
You can spend your life reading signs
Waiting for your interview
They can shoot the whole day for you
Now winter's gonna turn to spring
And you haven't accomplished a thing
So baby can't you make me just a little time
'Cause you never know what's on my mind
It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only takes a minute girl (that's one minute)
To fall in love (to fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (just one minute )
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
Alright let's go
Dance, come on now
Dance
Dance, come on now
Dance, come on now
Dance
Dance, come on now
It only takes a minute girl (please just one minute)
To fall in love (just one minute) to fall in love (just one minute)

To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (that's one minute)
To fall in love, to fall in love, (just one minute)
It only takes a minute girl (it only takes a minute girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (please just one minute)
To fall in love (to fall in love, to fall in love (to fall in love)
It only takes a minute girl (only takes a minute, girl)
To fall in love, to fall in love

The first time I saw this video, I must have been 11 years old. Now I’m 40, and I remember the good times with the Take That. The beginning of a long and great story.... They rocked my youth, and gave me so much joy of life ... and a few tears too!! I never thought they’d be together again, it’s so good. I am so proud of these guys, and of having been a fan from the beginning. Never forget you. Love from France
