I WONDER WHAT I CAN DO-OO
TO FIND A WAY TO STAY WITH YOU-OO

THE MAGIC SEEMS TO FALL AWAY-AY
AND IT GETS HARDER EVERY DAY-AY

I CANT FIND THE WORDS FROM MY EDUCATION
TO LET Y’KNOW THE DEPTH OF MY DESPERATION

SEEMS LIKE I’M FOCUSED ON THE WRONG LOCATION

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE

MY WORLD’S BURNIN’….I’M NOT LEARNIN’

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE

I WONDER WHAT I CAN DO-OO
TO FIND A WAY TO STAY WITH YOU-OO

THE MAGIC SEEMS TO FALL AWAY-AY
AND IT GETS HARDER EVERY DAY-AY

I CANT FIND THE WORDS FROM MY EDUCATION
TO LET Y’KNOW THE DEPTH OF MY DESPERATION
SEEMS LIKE I’M FOCUSED ON THE WRONG LOCATION

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE

SEEMS LIKE MY WHOLE WORLD’S BURNING
TRIED SO HARD BUT I’M NOT LEARNIN’

ALL I KNOW IS… YOU’RE NOT RETURNIN’

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?......

OH!.. WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?

I CANT FIND THE WORDS FROM MY EDUCATION

TO LET Y’KNOW THE DEPTH OF MY DESPERATION

SEEMS LIKE I’M FOCUSED ON THE WRONG LOCATION

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?............

Outro…OOOH…O-OH!…WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE? (final line)
