Tell Me What It Takes

It's been a long time
since the first time
I tried to let you know
Life is too short
Better cheer up
Baby or let me go

Every night
I'm on pins and needles
wondering what to say
I'm working too hard
just to keep our love
from fading away

Tell me what it takes
Tell me what it takes
to get a happy look
and a smile on your face

Tell me what it takes
Tell me what it takes
to make the sadness end
and start you living again

Ooh ooh ohh
Tell me what it takes
Ooh ooh ohh
Tell me what it takes

There's a blue moon
or a bright sun
shining in every sky
Better think twice
before this life baby
just passes you by

Everyone knows there's no
sure way of telling
which way to go
Open your heart
come on let's start
making a new love grow

Tell me what it takes
Tell me what it takes
to get a happy look
and a smile on your face

Tell me what it takes
Tell me what it takes
to make the sadness end
and start you living again

Ooh ooh ohh
Tell me what it takes
Ooh ooh ohh
Tell me what it takes

Love's not an angel
and life without danger
just don't exist

When love's crucified
there's no surviving
there's nothing left
