Whatever It Takes
Ben and Petie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know it, do you feel it, do you know it.
But you're waiting, why're you waiting, why're you waiting.
Just do it, whatever it is.
There are secrets, there are secrets, there are secrets.
There are places, there are places, you can go to
They might tell you, yeah they'll tell you, that you shouldn't
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is.
And you're dancing, and you're looking kinda crazy
And your arms, are making little circles
There are reasons, there are reasons, you can find out
So do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Whatever it is, whatever it is.
It's so quiet, it's so quiet, it's so quiet
And you're dreaming, and you're dreaming, and you're dreaming
I turn to you and say - awake is the new sleep, awake is the new sleep
So wake up. And do it, whatever it is. Just do it, whatever it is.
'cause awake is the new sleep, awake is the new sleep
So wake up
Wake up.
And do it. Whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is.
The song "Whatever It Takes" by Ben and Petie encourages listeners to take action and pursue their goals, no matter what obstacles they may face. The repeated phrase "Just do it, whatever it is" emphasizes the importance of taking action, even if one is unsure or hesitant. The song also acknowledges that there may be secrets or places that hold the answers to our questions, but we must be willing to seek them out and explore.
The second verse references the physical movement of dancing and making circles with one's arms, perhaps as a metaphor for the potential chaos and uncertainty that can come with pursuing one's dreams. Despite this, the lyrics emphasize the need to find reasons and understanding behind our actions, rather than simply acting impulsively.
The final verse reinforces the message of waking up and taking action, with the idea that being awake and aware of our goals is more important than simply dreaming about them. Overall, the lyrics of the song encourage listeners to push through hesitation and take action towards their dreams, no matter how difficult or uncertain the path may be.

Lyrics:
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
I would sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, how it yells in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Yes, I've got you under my skin

I’ve actually been practicing this exact version now for so long. My fiancé doesn’t know but instead of the traditional wedding music, I’ll be playing this on piano and singing as she makes her way to me at the alter. She knows how bad my stage fright is, but I want to show her that for her I’ll lay it all out there.
@andresmonroy7218
