We've all been hurt by love
It's out of our hands
But for all it's worth
I'm drawing a line in the sand

Another morning just won't do
I need your love to shine on through
Or it won't be new

Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Whatever it takes my love
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes my love

If there's a chance
For two hearts to celebrate
To blow out some candles
And tempt the hands of fate

You make a wish, I'll make one too
Close your eyes love when you do
Or it won't be true

Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Whatever it takes my love
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes, my love

'Cos I've been wandering 'round
With the same old blues
That have been dragging me down
If you feel the same way too
Maybe it just takes two

And if we give thanks
For our love at each new dawn
We'll find the strength
And the will to carry on

The sun alone will never do
Without your love to shine on through
It just won't be new

Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it
Whatever it takes, my love
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes, my love

Oh, Whatever it takes, my love.
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes, my love, my love, my love
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, my love.
To put the lonely days behind us
I'm laying it down
Whatever it takes, my love.
