Do you ever play by the rules   or do you make yours along the way   do you ever stop before it's too late   do you ever listen to what people say      Do you tend to run away   if perfect is going wrong   do you ever stop to look around   do you ever listen to this song      So tell me what does it take   to make you swallow your pride   tell me what does it take   to see those arms open wide   tell me what does it take      Do you ever make a mistake   and if you do, do you take the blame   do you ever hesitate   do you ever feel it's all in vain      Do you ever cry when you're feeling down   how do you feel   do you ever miss to belong somewhere   do you ever dream of something real      So tell me what does it take   to make you swallow your pride   tell me what does it take   to see those arms open wide   tell me what does it take      Would you answer me if you knew
