What It Takes
[Verse 1]
We can't win for losin'
Fightin' every step of the way
Battles we shouldn't be choosin'
Prices too high for us to pay
Nobody told me it's like this out here

[Chorus]
Is that what it takes?
It takes everything
It costs us all we have
This love

[Verse 2]
I can hear the voice of my mother
Echoin' down through the years
Sayin', "Love your sisters and brothers:
"That's why we're all put here"
Nobody told me it's like this out here

[Chorus]
Is that what it takes?
It takes everything
It costs us all we have
This love
[Chorus]
Is that what it takes?
It takes everything
It costs us all we have
This love
This love
This love
