What It Takes Lyrics By Aerosmith

    ooooh yeah

    there goes my old girlfriend
    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

    yeah
    girl before i met you
    i was fine fine
    but your love made me a prisoner
    yeah my heart’s been doing time
    you spent me up like money
    then you 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
    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
    aw

    tell me that you’re happy that you’re 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 loving didn’t mean that much
    tell me you aren’t dying when you’re crying for me

    tell me what it takes to let you go ooh
    tell me how the pain’s supposed to go oh yeah
    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 who’s to blame for thinking twice
    no no no no ’cause i don’t want to burn in paradise
    ooo
    let go let go let go
    let it go let it go let it go let it go let it go
    let it go let it go let it go
    let it go let it go let it go let it go let it go
    i don’t want to burn i don’t want to burn
    let it go let it go let it go let it go let it gorepeat
    yeah
