What’s It Gonna Take Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's it gonna take to drive down your street
And not check who's parked in your driveway?
What's it gonna take to not think she'll cheat?
I can't trust nobody these days

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so tired of second guesses
Sleepless nights and countless questions
Bottles empty, head's a mess
And I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
I'd do anything, I'd do anything to get over you
I've been to every bar, drank all the whiskey
But, baby, nothin' really ever seems to fix me
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
Oh, over you

[Post-Chorus]
(Over you)

[Verse 2]
They say give it time, hell, I gave it six months
The time ain't the answer this time
Go out every night like you just turned twenty-one
Last thing I need is a rewind
[Pre-Chorus]
Meet a girl and steal a kiss
Send her home when mornin' hits
A rebound's just another miss
And that ain't gonna fix it, no

[Chorus]
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
I'd do anything, I'd do anything to get over you
I've been to every bar, drank all the whiskey
But, baby, nothin' really ever seems to fix me
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
Oh, over you

[Post-Chorus]
(Over you)

[Chorus]
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
I'd do anything, I'd do anything to get over you
Oh, over you
I've been to every bar, drank all the whiskey
But, baby, nothin' really ever seems to fix me (Seems to fix me)
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take to get over you?
Oh, over you
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah (Over you)
Oh, it's so damn hard

[Outro]
Oh, what's it gonna take?
Oh, yeah
To get over you
Oh, girl
Oh, girl, what's it gonna take?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
