Lyrics: What It Takes
Album: Big Ones
Artist: Aerosmith
 

there goes my old girlfriend
well 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

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

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

spent me up like money
well then you hung me out to dry
it was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
’cause you had me deep with the devil in your eyes

tell me that you’re happy that you’re on your own
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 who’s to blame for thinking twice (no no no no)
’cause i don’t wanna burn in paradise

(let it go let it go … )
