Aerosmith – What It Takes: Lyrics and Music Video

What It Takes Lyrics

There goes my old girlfriend
There’s another diamond ring
And a 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 thinkin’ you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Yeah,

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

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 dying
When you’re cryin’ for me

Tell me who’s to blame for thinkin’ twice
‘Cause i don’t wanna burn in Paradise
Oh, let it go, let it go…

I don’t wanna burn…
