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

We both know what it feels like when you lose

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



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

Tonite '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 that's what it takes...



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

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

'Cause 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'll lay it all on the line for you



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

Tonite '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 that's what it takes...



So, when you feel like jumping,

Just when your heart starts pumpking

When you're standing out on that ledge-staring over the edge

I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the ground



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

Tonite '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 that's what it takes...



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 pull 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
