What It Takes Songtext
von Aerosmith

There goes my old girlfriend
There′s another diamond ring
And all those late night promise
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
Now 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 who′s to blame for thinking twice


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
Yeah, you spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
Was it 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
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 who′s to blame for thinking twice
Guitar

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own, yeah-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
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinkin′ you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me who′s to blame for throwing rice, no-no-no-no
'Cause I don′t wanna burn in paradise


Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I don't, I don′t wanna burn in paradise
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (I don't wanna burn)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (I don′t wanna burn, love you)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (I love you for certain)

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (ooh-ooh)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (ooh-ooh)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (ooh-ooh)
Never said a bad thing talkin' about you
