Bon Jovi - If That's What It Takes lyrics

[Bon Jovi - If That's What It Takes lyrics]

I played the part of a
Broken heart upon a shelf
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else
Not me and you
Yeah, I know that you've been shattered
You been bruised and we both know what it
Feels like when you lose
But I'd bet my life on a
Roll of the dice for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down
Baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do
If that's what it takes

I bet you counted all the
Tears up that you've cried
I bet you swore you'd never
Let love back inside
Because it hurt you way too
Bad to say good-bye
Now, there'll be times when I might
Put us to the test and it's hard for broken
Hearts to just forget but I'm driving blind
I'd lay it all on the line for you

So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When you're standing out on that ledge
Staring over the edge
I'll be there to talk to you down
I'll be there before you hit the ground

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down
Baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If we take the time to do it right
I know we'll put through
If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes, I'd do anything baby

I'd do anything you want me to
Baby if it's me and you
It's alright, alright, alright, alright
Oh baby
