We've all been hurt by love, it's out of our hands   For all it's worth, I'm drawing a line that's in the sand   Another morning just won't do   I need your love to shine on through or it won't be new      Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it   Whatever it takes my love   To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down   Whatever it takes, my love      If there's a chance for two hearts to celebrate   To blow out some candles and tempt the hands of fate   You make a wish, I'll make one too   Close your eyes, love, when you do, or it won't come true      Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it   Whatever it takes my love   To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down   Whatever it takes, my love      'Cause I've been wandering 'round with the same old blues   (Same old blues)   That have been dragging me down   If you feel the same way too, maybe it just takes two      And if we give thanks for our love at each new dawn   We'll find the strength and the will to carry on   The sun alone will never do   Without your love to shine on through it just won't be new      Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it   Whatever it takes, my love   To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down   Whatever it takes, my love   (Whatever it takes)      Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it   Whatever it takes, my love   To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down   Whatever it takes, my love, my love, my love   (Whatever it takes, ooh)      Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it   Whatever it takes, my love   To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down   (I'm laying it down)   Whatever it takes, my love   (Whatever it takes, my love)
