"What Will It Take?" lyrics
(from "The Have Not" soundtrack)
I'm biting my tongue so hard
I swear I'm tasting blood
I don't really trust my mouth
So I'll just keep it shut
But this is infuriating
There's no way you're that oblivious
To the connection between us
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
I'm such a good actress that I
Deserve an award
But I don't think I can keep this
Ruse up anymore
Pretending I'm so unbothered
When every moment it's a crime
That you don't have your lips on mine
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
All joking aside
Not one day goes by
When I'm not
Fighting the impulse
To make some excuse
To be around you
Don't be obtuse
'Cause it's simple
Don't be obtuse
'Cause it's simple
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
I swear I'm tasting blood
I don't really trust my mouth
So I'll just keep it shut
But this is infuriating
There's no way you're that oblivious
To the connection between us
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
I'm such a good actress that I
Deserve an award
But I don't think I can keep this
Ruse up anymore
Pretending I'm so unbothered
When every moment it's a crime
That you don't have your lips on mine
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
All joking aside
Not one day goes by
When I'm not
Fighting the impulse
To make some excuse
To be around you
Don't be obtuse
'Cause it's simple
Don't be obtuse
'Cause it's simple
What will it take
To make you see that
What you want is right in
Front of your face?
What will it take
To finally get you to
Look at me a different way?
I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm not very patient
And I'm tired of waiting baby
So what will it take?
What will it take?
