what's it gonna take

i lay all the traps out

but you just set 'em free

lock the door and hide yourself

you can't get ride of me

one little moment just to be with you

you're everything i think about

you're all i say and do

i can't go much further

but i can't walk away

if i ask you this question

what will i say?

what's it gonna take to win your heart

what's it gonna take right from the start

tell me

am i just wasting my time?

give it to me straight-lay on the line

tell me all i need to make you mine

what's it gonna take

boy

am i the one for you?

trying hard to win you

but i'm losing every game

in spite of all my hopes and dreams

the problem's still the same

each and every night i pray for you

you're everything i think about

you're all i say and do

i want you to want me

but i won't call your hand

if i know what you're feeling

then i'd understand

what's it gonna take to win your heart

what's it gonna take right from the start

tell me

am i just wasting my time?

give it to me straight-lay on the line

tell me all i need to make you mine

what's it gonna take

boy

am i the one for you?

knock on your door a thousand times

practiced my moves

rehearsed all my lines

you shut me out

a cold-hearted thing

but it ain't over till the fat lady sings

now i'm looking so good

how can you resist me

a week from now you'll be sorry that you missed me

for cryin' out loud and for goodness sake

tell me now boy

what's it gonna take?

what's it gonna take? what's it gonna take?

what's it gonna take to win your heart

what's it gonna take right from the start

tell me

am i just wasting my time?

give it to me straight-lay on the line

tell me all i need to make you mine

what's it gonna take

boy

am i the one for you?
