What’s It Gonna Take
(music and lyrics by Nelson)

I didn’t know you, you didn’t know me too
I won’t surrender anything to make you feel at ease
Hidden in this secret painting, you never know what you’ll find.
Up against my better judgment I let you in my mind
There I stood, like a statue in your doorway
Gazing at your light, but something wasn’t right

What’s it gonna take for you to notice who I am?
I’m the one who loves you, baby, like no other man.

I gave you everything that you could ever want
But it was never good enough for your empty heart
I hear you talk in circles about the things you need
Searching for your superhero who won’t ever set you free
And what do you feel? Are you gonna say you’re sorry?
For walking out on me, for walking out on me

What’s it gonna take for you to notice who I am?
I’m the one who loves you, baby, like no other man.

And what do you feel? Are you gonna say you’re sorry?
For walking out on me, for walking out on me
What’s it gonna take? What’s it gonna take?
