Howard Jones - Takin' The Time Lyrics

One of my favorite 80's songs

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7116502/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3

Estubo en chile y no.pude ir

This song was used for the Olympic Games

Howard was being so friendly in this video great Peoples Person you can tell

People were nice those days 1980s not today 2019 they are vile country gone down hill in the UK this video is.

11 persons didn't get to know the one they wanted

It's nice to know young people then looked as ridiculous as they do now ( although at the time I thought Howard's style looked normal! ). No new songs are as good as Howard's though!

Howard Jones good artist he is walking around Central London diverse city walking up to charing Cross Station and along the strand and greeting people, good days in the 1980s people had respect and manners in the UK. People were happy and free spirited those days.

London so nice in 1980s Howard walking up to charing Cross Station on strand.

I know this is probably like the millionth comment to say this but, I SO MISS THE 80'S.

London amazing city in UK Howard Jones walking past charing Cross Station.

Houston's mccaine thanks for telling me the location on where he was at in London would have loveed to visit London during this beautiful time

"Like To Get To Know You Well"

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Together

Together we can cast away the fear
Together we can wipe away the tear
Together we can strip down the barriers
And be one

Don't wanna talk about the weather
Don't wanna talk about the news
Just wanna get to the real you inside

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well

So we can be one
We can be one together

Don't you think now is the time
We should be feelin'
Just wanna simply say
Won't let you slip away

People wanna talk about the future
Don't wanna linger on the past
Just wanna reach the real you inside
Forget cold glances and rejections
Leave the things that separate
Build on a trust that we must stand on

Like to get to know you well

Together

Finding all are insecure
Opening the same door
Leaving out a stubborn pride
Seeing from the other side

Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

I love you ,London.

This song is about the 1984 Olympic Games (in Los Angeles).

I adore the story Howard told about when they translated this song for Japan that he received phone calls from I'm assuming his record label stating that this song will ruin his career because when they translated it the translation was "I want to force myself upon you".  Luckily for Howard the situation was rectified.  LOL

Great song with a great message.

Lots of Lady Di lookalikes there!

InProgress Yes Indeed

30 July 1984 (UK) 1985 (US) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_to_Get_to_Know_You_Well

Together we can kiss away the fear, together we can wipe away the tears, together we can strip down the barriers and be one....

Love this song! It has that Caribbean flavor to it!

Mitiko bella la maglia!

I think "No one is to blame" is his best number.

Shaun Galloway my favorite is hide and seek conditioning is a close second and this is third lol

My favourite Howad Jones track. Brings back memories.

Such a feel good song.

Ron Sumsion this is an alternate video for the song the regulur u.s video has like 2 million views so dont worry theres no need to call the feds lol

amazing song living up how life was like and music change over the years xxxx

Like to get to know you well Howard!

This is the first time I have seen this video. The US version is very different. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the song, but can't decide which video I like better. I practically grew up watching the US one.

This version is much better than the other one! Gives me goosebumps....(the whole song actually)

Love this. It reminds me of why I came back to London- I enjoy the multiracial exuberance of this
fine city (apart from the fact I was born here

Other UK cities are segregated and racist and no where as multicultural as London is so many cultures and tolerance.

 
the first record i gave a girl-- gave it to sally (the only girl i ever fell in love at first sight) afterwards she asked me to fix her car and gave me biscuits and tea KNOWING I WAS HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH HER.she had a twin sister too linda

JOJOBANANAZ1 and where are they now I wonder? 😁

I think this is a reggaeble song and it would be good if  exist a DJ toasting version of the song!

Love this so much! 

I still dig this song

Who cares about Beyonce and Pepsi??? Enough with the fricken commercials already!

Where have you been all my life??

the first record i gave a girl-- gave it to sally (the only girl i ever fell in love at first sight) afterwards she asked me to fix her car and gave me biscuits and tea KNOWING I WAS HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH HER.she had a twin sister too linda

2:20 friendly skin? shaved head, white pants red shirt & docs back then was a statement. Just a observation.

The world is a better place with Howard Jones in it.

Does he have a twin brother?

80's = great times oh yeah.

Better Off Dead!!!

i was born in 1985 and i should have grown up in the 80's aww thats to bad i love the 80's sooo much!
