Below, you will find the lyrics for What It Takes by Aerosmith.
Ooooh yeah!
There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back
I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night
Without thinking you lost everything
That was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Girl, before I met you
I was F.I.N.E. Fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep
All your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eyes!
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Oooooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night
Without thinking you lost everything
That was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Guitar!
Tell me that you're happy, that you're on your own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Ooooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
And tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night
Without thinking you lost everything
That was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice
No, no, no, no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
Oooooooh
