Aerosmith - What It Takes

 

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

ooh 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, 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 doin' 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 deep in 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, 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, ooh

tell me how the pain's supposed to go, yeah

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, ooh ooh

I don't I don't I don't wanna I don't wanna burn in paradise

let it go let it go... (And I don't wanna burn and I don't wanna burn and I don't...)

Life

How many times have you been pushed around?

Was anybody there?

Does anybody care?

How many time have your friends let you down?

Was anybody there?

Did anybody stare?

 

How many time have your friends let you down?

Just open up your heart

Just open up your mind

How many times has your faith slipped away?

Well, is anybody safe?

Does anybody pray?

 

Oh, Life is waiting for you

So messed up, but we're alive

Oh, Life is waiting for you

So messed up, but we'll survive

 

How many days have you just slept away?

Is everybody high?

Is everyone afraid?

How many times have you wished you were strong?

Have they ever seen your heart?

Have they ever seen your pain?

 

Oh, Life is waiting for you

So messed up, but we're alive

Oh, Life is waiting for you

So messed up, but we'll survive

Late night,maudlin street-Morrissey

 

The last night on mauddlin street

Goodbye house

goodbye stairs

I was born here

I was raised here, and

...I took some stick here

love at first sight

may sound trite

but it's true,you know

I could list the details

of everything you ever wore

or said,or how you stood that day

as we spent the last night on maudlin street

"goodbye house-forever"

I never stole a happy hour around here

Where the world's ugliest boy

became what you see

here I am-the ugliest man

It's the last night on maudlin street

and truly I do love you

oh,truly I do love you

When I sleep with that picture of

you framed beside my bed

oh, it's childish and it's silly

but I think it's you in my room by the bed

..yes I told you it was silly...

and I know

I took strange pills

but I never meant to hurt you

oh, truly I love you

I came home late one night

everyone had gone to bed

nobody stays up for you

when you have sixteen stiches

all around your head

the last bus I missed to maudlin street

so,he drove me home in the van

complaining "women only like me for my mind..."

don't leave your torch behind

power-cuts ahead

as we crept through the park

but no I cannot steal a pair of jeans

off a clothesline for you

but you...without clothes

oh I couldn't keep a straight face

me-without clothes?

well a nation turns it's back and gags...

I'm packed

I am moving house

a half life disappears today

every hand that waves me on

(secretly wishing me gone)

well I will be soon

There were bad times on maudlin street

when they took you away in a police car

dear inspector-don't you know?

don't you care?

don't you know about love?

your gran died

and your mother died on maudlin street

in pain and ashamed

with never time to say

those special things

I took the keys from maudlin street

well, it's only bricks and mortar!

and..truly I do love you

wherever you are

wherever you are

I hope your singing now
