Píseň: Whatever It Takes

Interpret:
Anita Baker
Album:
Compositions
I've always told you

I'd give anything

My baby, you've been

My best, my only friend

There's nothing like the joy you bring



I wonder what would happen

If you would trust in me

I'd make you believe

I'd make you see

No need to run from me



I'll make you feel

Like never before

Here I stand

Heart in hand

Help me find the door

Anybody can see

Baby you've been hurt before

Let me heal your pain

It won't ever hurt no more



Whatever it takes to make you happy baby

Whatever it takes to make you smile

Whatever it takes to make you feel good baby

I'll be around



One moment spent near you

Removes all my pain

Be a miracle soothe me

Your heart can move me

I can not explain

Burdens get heavy

Become too much to bear

Honey don't you say nothing

Hold on I'm coming

I want you to know

That I'll be there



I'll make you feel

Like never before

Willing and able baby

Open up the door

Anybody can see

Baby you've been hurt before

Let me heal all your pain

Never let you hurt anymore



(Musical interlude)



Whatever it takes to make you happy baby

Whatever it takes to make you smile

Whatever it takes to make you feel good baby

I'll be around
