Larry Ramos - "It's Gonna Take a Little Time" (1966)

Recorded in Hollywood, CA, January or February 1966. Produced by Allan Stanton; Flip side is a cover of "Gotta Travel On". Issued by the Columbia label in the early months of 1966, after Larry departed his group, the New Christy Minstrels, with whom he'd been since 1961-ish, and who were signed to the same label. This must've been a failed attempt to capitalize on Larry as a solo singer with some pop and folk that he was known for. Luckily, later this same year, he would join the Association.

{LYRICS}
Walkin' 'round just to be alone
So I can face the world
Say I'm glad you're gone
It's gonna take a little time to get you off my mind
But I will

Walkin' 'round like I used to do
'Cause I been
Hurt before by someone like you
It's gonna take a little time to get you off my mind
But I will

Walkin' away but my heart keeps runnin' back to you
To you
People tell me I'm foolin' myself
Aw, but what can I do now you and I through

Walkin' 'round just to be alone
So I can face the world
Say I'm glad you're gone
It's gonna take a little time to get you off my mind
But I will
I will!

[Instrumental break]

People tell me I'm foolin' myself
Aw, but what can I do now you and I through
Mmmm...

Walkin' 'round just to be alone
So I can face the world
Say I'm glad you're gone
It's gonna take a little time to get you off my mind
Take a little time 'till I can get you off my mind!
Take a little time to get you off my mind
But I will...
I will!

It's gonna take a little time to get you off my mind
Take a little time 'till I can get you off my mind!
Take a little time to get you off my mind
But I will...
I will!
I will... yes, I will...
I will, I will...
