Whatever It Takes

(album: Uptown - 1987)

Here we are
After all we've been
Acting like
Total strangers again
Making small talk
To avoid anything too familiar

No more words
They're not enough
Only sounds
That can't say as much as my heart
When it knows what it wants
And it wants you

I never should have taken you for granted
I won't make that same mistake again
'Cause I'm ready now to give everything...

Darling, I'll do whatever it takes
Break any walls in the way
That stand between you and me
I'll lay my heart on the line
I'll take the gamble this time
I'll do whatever it takes
To get you back

Let's cut through
All of this red tape
Past the doubts
On your cautious face
To your eyes
Where I see there's a willing surrender

You can't hide the love you're already feeling
You're gonna have to let me in
There's no way, I'm gonna lose you again

Darling, I'll do whatever it takes
Break any walls in the way
That stand between you and me
I'll lay my heart on the line
I'll take the gamble this time
I'll do whatever it takes
To get you back

I never should have taken you for granted
I won't make that same mistake again
'Cause I'm ready now to give everything...
