I lay all the traps out, but you just set 'em free
Lock the door and hide yourself, you can't get ride of me
One little moment just to be with you
You're everything I think about, you're all I say and do
I can't go much further
But I can't walk away
If I ask you this question
What will I say?
What's it gonna take to win your heart?
What's it gonna take right from the start?
Tell me, am I just wasting my time?
Give it to me straight-lay on the line
Tell me all I need to make you mine
What's it gonna take, boy, am I the one for you?
Trying hard to win you, but I'm losing every game
In spite of all my hopes and dreams, the problem's still the same
Each and every night I pray for you
You're everything I think about, you're all I say and do
I want you to want me
But I won't call your hand
If I know what you're feeling
Then I'd understand
What's it gonna take to win your heart?
What's it gonna take right from the start?
Tell me, am I just wasting my time?
Give it to me straight-lay on the line
Tell me all I need to make you mine
What's it gonna take, boy, am I the one for you?
Knock on your door a thousand times
Practiced my moves, rehearsed all my lines
You shut me out, a cold-hearted thing
But it ain't over till the fat lady sings
Now I'm looking so good, how can you resist me
A week from now you'll be sorry that you missed me
For cryin' out loud and for goodness sake
Tell me now boy, what's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take? What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take to win your heart?
What's it gonna take right from the start?
Tell me, am I just wasting my time?
Give it to me straight, lay on the line
Tell me all I need to make you mine
What's it gonna take, boy, am I the one for you?
