Whatever It Takes

A man reappears after 40 odd years

And says "sorry! Forgive me! I'm late!

I grumble "you're right!"

But he looks so contrite

I put 5 sugar cakes on his plate

Cause he loves me

Oh he loves me

And love is well worth the wait

But I don't wanna be the one

Who, before you jump the gun sticks a pin in your balloon

But you oughta know the world that I live in isn't gonna be like your cartoon

In my world, let's not prevaricate

Everybody has a "sell by date"

Let that sit a bit and percolate

Then you will know what to do

Immortality's a word

Overrated, so i've heard

If you ask a guy like me

I would rather run the clock out together

That's the way it's got to be

Yes and as the years accumulate

Your manly figure will disintegrate

Whatever it takes to be with you

I'll grow old with you

That's what lovers do

Hyperbolic maybe so

But a person has to know

waht the stories gonna be

All I know is that if you aren't in it

Theres nothing in it then for me

You'd stay here for Valentina's sake?

In a heartbeat, honey piece of cake!

Whatever it takes to be with you

I'll stay here with you

That's what lovers do

C'mon Valentina, let's shake a leg!

Whatever the price

No need to think twice!

Our hearts knows what we have to do

Whatever the stakes?

Whatever the stakes!

Cause kiddo we're long overdue

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes

Hold on

Whatever it takes to be

With you

Whatever it takes!
