I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf

I played that part so lonely and so well

Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you

Yeah, I know that you've been shattered

You been bruised

And we both know what it feels like when you lose

But I'd bet my life on a roll of the dice for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do

Tonight's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do

If that's what it takes...

I bet you counted all the tears up that you've cried

I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside

Because it hurt you way too bad to say good-bye

Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test

And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget

But I'm driving blind, I'd lay it all on the line for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do

Tonight's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do

If that's what it takes...

So, when you feel like jumping

Just when your heart starts pumping

When you're standing out on that ledge

Staring over the edge

I'll be there to talk to you down

I'll be there before you hit the ground

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do

Tonight's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

If we take the time to do it right, I know we'll put through

If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

If that's what it takes, I'd do anything baby

I'd do anything you want me to baby if it's me and you

It's alright, alright, alright, alright

Oh baby
