What It Takes

by Elton john

I wanna walk
To no particular destination
I wanna talk
When I got the inclination
I wanna move
When I got the locomotion
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
I wanna drive my car
Wherever they're driving faster
I wanna sail the ship
As long as I can be the master
I wanna ride the rails
On my own roller coaster
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
[Chorus]
I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
I wanna be the first to say
Don't wanna work real hard
If it means that I ain't livin'
Don't wanna go through life
If there's no room for gettin'
Don't wanna stand here long
If it just means I'm a waiting
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't wanna change my ways
If there ain't no good reason
Don't wanna change my mind
Without any rhyme or reason
Don't wanna be one way
I got to change like a season
I'm gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
I'm gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

What It Takes

by Ko?n

It takes a mountain of faith
River flowing pain
It takes a hammer on a nail
It takes a whole lotta love... yeah...
It takes a lifetime of working
A touch of understanding
It takes a wind in the sails
Little children singing... yeah...
It takes a sun burning knowledge
An ocean full of feeling
It takes a certain kind of hunger
It takes a whole lotta love... yeah...

What It Takes

by Shirelles

There goes my old girlfriend
There's a-nother diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby what's the story
Did'cha a 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 doin' time
You spent me up like money
A then ya 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... oooh
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
Guitar
Tell me that'chor happy that'chor 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 what it takes to let you go... oooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go... yeah
And 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 who's to blame for thinkin' twice... no no no no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
Oooh... I don't I don't no I don't wanna burn in paradise
Let it go let it go...
I don't wanna burn....

What it Takes

by The Muffs

Who's got what it takes to be my guy
What it takes to make me shine
What it takes to get me fired up?
Who's got what it takes to be my beau
What it takes to make me glow
What it takes to make this beat flow?
Everyone talks about
what they think they need
The make up a list
of things 1, 2, 3...
Everyone us different,
but where we can agree?
Every girl wants her boy
to treat her sweet
Don't think that being mean
will get you anywhere
Don't think that acting cool
will make me want to care
I need your respect
if your gonna be the one
And if you must apply
then try to get the job done
Who's got what it takes to be my guy
What it takes to make me shine
What it takes to get me fired up?
Who's got what it takes to be my beau
What it takes to make me glow
What it takes to make this beat flow?
Talk can be so cheap
So I just look for actions
Be good to me if you want my attraction
Maybe I just want too much
But I don't really care
I know I'm worth it
And I know he's out there
Wait, wait
you might be a contenda
Hey, hey
can I borrow your sweatshirt?
Normally, I'm not the one to say hello first, but if I didn't
I might miss out and that might hurt
Who's got what it takes to be my guy
What it takes to make me shine
What it takes to get me fired up?
Who's got what it takes to be my beau
What it takes to make me glow
What it takes to make this beat flow?
I've been contemplating what
It takes to make me give my heart
Could you be the one
standing in the crowd?
I'm waiting to find out
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting, oh!
Who's got what it takes to be my guy
What it takes to make me shine
What it takes to get me fired up?
Who's got what it takes to be my beau
What it takes to make me glow
What it takes to make this beat flow?
Who's got what it takes to be my guy
What it takes to make me shine
What it takes to get me fired up?
Who's got what it takes to be my beau
What it takes to make me glow
What it takes to make this beat flow?
