It Dont Take But A Few Minutes by Chuck Berry
Here's the version Chuck plays with Eric Clapton on the rehearsals for his 60th
Birthday Concert in 1986 - Have Fun !
In the film they call it "understand each other"
It don't take but a few minutes - Chuck Berry
D
When I see those big brown eyes
A
is when I take my cue
A(tack)
It don't take me but a few minutes
A D
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

If I was twenty-three years old
and you were twenty-two
I bet no one would try to run
our lives 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
If I was in San Diego
and you were in Portland, Maine
I'd fly to you lock, stock
and bone in hail and pouring rain
Over the mountains, through the valleys,
coming home to each other
It don't take us but a few minutes
to get to one another
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
