What It Takes
( Tyler / Perry / D. Child )



There goes my old girlfriend
There's a...nother diamond ring
But of all them late night promises
I guess they don't mean...

So baby what's the story
A did'cha a find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back I guess
The feelings start to fade away

Well I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
Now you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat... chea

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that'choo can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me who to blame for thinkin' twice

Girl before I met'choo I was F.I.N.E. fine
But'chor love made me a prisoner
Yeah my heart's been doin' time
You spent me up like money
And then ya a hung me out to dry
Was it easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eye

Tell me what it takes to let you go... say....
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Well honey tell me
Tell me how it is that'choo can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me who to blame when I roll the di...

A guitar...

Tell me that'chor happy that'chor on your own
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're on your own... no nooo
Tell me that'chor body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dying
When you're cryin' for... me

Tell me what it takes to let you go... say...
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that'choo can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the...
Dice...

Tell me who to blame for thinkin' twice... well no no no no no no no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
Say ooo... I don't I don't I don't wanna talk to your mother no more
Uummm...
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
I don't wanna burn... I don't wanna die
I lost in love four times already
Save me.... save me...
I don't wanna no no uh um no no...

I don't wanna see your face around her no more
