Whatever It Takes

You say that you have questions
And I completely understand
The things that are sitting on your mind

The truth is you're still learning
The person that I am
But if you look much closer, I think you'll find

That my heart has never beat so hard
As when I looked at you
The princess whom I saw standing on the stairs

And I a humble mortal
Who gazed at you and thought
"What a woman, she looks as though she has no cares"

But cares you'd have a plenty
Your life's a changing thing
I didn't know but soon found out
Your problems didn't take to wing

And so whatever it takes to make you happy
Seems a lofty goal
For a woman, one as sweet as you
Who seems so in control

But life can be bittersweet and cold
When it takes a sad turn
It's just your heart that's on the line
And you think by now you'd learn

That it's never really simple
Your heart sometimes breaks
To see you smile, you know I'll do
Whatever it takes

You've been burnt by circumstance
Relationships turned cold
And sometimes, they simply weren't true at all

You wondered if anyone really cared
About the way you felt
Would anyone be there to catch you when you fall

I'm just a foolish mortal
I might have foolish dreams
One look from you, my dreams came true
You stole my heart, it seems, so

And so whatever it takes to make you happy
Will simply be my quest
For my princess who only
Deserves the very best

But this man is far from perfect
When taken as a whole
It's just my heart that's on the line
And you think that you should know

That it's never really simple
Your heart sometimes breaks
To win your heart, you know I'll do
Whatever it takes

It may have been bent and battered
And I know it sometimes breaks
But I'll cherish your heart with all my love
And whatever it takes
