What It Takes
(A Little South Of Sanity)

THERE GOES MY OLD GIRLFRIEND

AND-A ALL THOSE LATE NIGHT PROMISES
I GUESS THEY DON'T MEAN A THING

SO BABY WHAT'S THE STORY

IN THE BED THAT WE MADE
WHEN YA DON'T LOOK BACK
I GUESS THE FEELIN'S START TA FADE AWAY

OH I USED TA FEEL YOUR FIRE
BUT NOW IT'S COLD INSIDE

LIKE YOU DIDN'T MISS A BEAT YEAH

TELL ME WHAT IT TAKES TA LET YOU GO
AN' TELL ME HOW THE PAIN'S SUPPOSED TO GO-OO-OH

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
AN' TELL ME WHO'S TO BLAME FOR THINKIN' TWICE
