What Will It Take
Cynthia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not long ago you said we were meant to be
And now your gone forever, where did you go
Why didi you lie to me, you said we stay together
All of the love deep inside of me
I feel for you, you will never see
To say that you'll be mine
I'm begging you baby, please
Chorus:
What will it take to bring you back to me
I need you in my arms for always and ever
What will it take to love you once again
If you come back to me, I'll hold you forever

What will it take...

Open your arms and I will run to you
I want you here beside me
Without your love, I don't know what to do
I need you you here to guide me
Why can't you see we were meant to be
I need your love, so cme back to me
Say that you'll be mine, I'm begging you baby please

(Chorus)

Even though you hurt me and I know you were untrue
Baby come to me, cause I'm still in love with you





(Chorus)
