What It Takes Songtext
von Aerosmith

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
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
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 thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
No no no no no

′Cause I don′t wanna burn in paradise
Let go, let go, let go
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 (I don't wanna burn)

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
