Give Me Just a Little More Time the narrator, begging a lover not to rush intimacy: "We both want the sweetness in life/ But these things don't come overnight." Members of Motown's in-house band, The Funk Brothers, who played all of Holland-Dozier-Holland's previous hits, played on this recording as well as many other Invictus/Hot Wax recordings. "Give Me Just a Little More Time", backed with "Since the Days of Pigtails & Fairytales", peaked at number three on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the United States, making it the best-performing of the Chairmen's singles, and the first of the Chairmen's four Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 pop hits.
