Lyrics

What Does It Take

What does it take to break a man? Well I should've known Love don't leave, love don't leave I was wrong in the end And what does it take to break a woman? Well you should've known You say love don't leave, love don't leave I was wrong in the end So take this old and beaten heart Make it strong and make it stop Take this old and beaten heart Make it strong and make it stop For me 'Cause I'm still looking for That sweet melody That could bring you back to me That could bring you back to me That could bring you back to me Won't you please come back to me But what does it take to break a man? Well I should've known
