if that's what it takes

• bon jovinin these days adlı albümünün b yüzü parçasıdır, eğlendirici bir melodisi ve güzel sözleri vardır.
  
  i played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf
  i played that part so lonely and so well
  thought that love belonged to someone else not me and you
  yeah, i know that you've been shattered , you been bruised
  we both know what it feels like when you loose
  but i'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you
  
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  tonight 's the night, i'm gonna prove it to you
  do i have to break down, baby just to break through
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  if that's what it takes...
  
  i bet you counted all the tears i bet you've cried
  i bet you swore you'd never let love back inside
  'cause it hurt you way too bad to say goodbye
  now, there'll be times when i might put us to the test
  and it's hard for broken hearts to just forget
  but i'm driving blind, i'll lay it all on the line for you
  
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  tonight 's the night, i'm gonna prove it to you
  do i have to break down, baby just to break through
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  if that's what it takes...
  
  so, when you feel like jumping,
  just when your heart starts pumping
  when you're standing out on that ledge staring over the edge
  i'll be there to talk you down, i'll be there before you hit the ground
  
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  tonight 's the night, i'm gonna prove it to you
  do i have to break down, baby just to break through
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  if that's what it takes...
  
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  if we take the time to do it right, i know we'll pull through
  if it took all my life, i'd prove it to you
  if that's what it takes, that's what i'd do
  if that's what it takes...

• mr bigin hey man albümünden bir şarkı
  
  comfort me
  from a world where no one cares
  where the words turn into cages
  and memories cut like glass
  
  i closed my eyes on you
  put the blame on myself
  the weight on my shoulders
  throw my heart in the wishing well
  
  i've got to face and tame my demons
  i know it's hard to start over again, yeah i know
  through trials and tribulations
  salvation's like a long lost friend
  
  i'll take back all of the hurt
  for your love i've taken for granted
  i'll do anything to change
  if that's what it takes
  
  no use in pretending
  ain't no pride in it at all
  a cure for independence
  is when you're standing in the cold
  
  have i used, have i used my chances
  have my bridges all been burned
  give me a sign of inspiration
  to find a stone that's left unturned
  
  i see a distant promise of eden
  lifting my spirits so high
  if i can break out of the circle
  gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
  
  i'll take back all of the hurt
  for your love i've taken for granted
  i'll do anything to change
  if that's what it takes
  
  solo
  
  i've got to see the promise of eden
  lifting my spirits so high
  if i can break, break out of the circle
  gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
  
  i'll take back all of the hurt
  for your love i've taken for granted
  i'll do anything to change, baby
  if that's what it takes
  
  take back all of the hurt
  for your love i've taken for granted
  i'll do anything to change
  if that's what it takes
  if that's what it takes
• celine dion'un falling into you albümünde yer verdiği, pour que tu m'aimes encore isimli şarkısının ingilizce uyarlaması. ve bence çok daha güzeli.
  
  sözleri de şöyle ki:
  
  you're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls
  you're my light in the dark, you're the place i call home
  you can say it's all right, but i know that you're breaking up inside
  i see it in your eyes
  even you face the night afraid and alone
  that's why i'll be there
  
  when the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
  ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
  ev'ry second i live, that's the promise i make
  baby, that's what i'll give, if that's what it takes
  if that's what it takes
  
  you can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain
  when your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name
  'cause i've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
  you've given me your love
  when your smile like the sun that shines through the pain
  that's why i'll be there
  
  when the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
  ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
  i will stand like a rock, i will bend till i break
  till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes
  i will risk everything, i will fight, i will bleed
  i will lay down my life, if that's what you need
  ev'ry second i live, that's the promise i make
  baby, that's what i'll give, if that's what it takes
  
  through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
  when the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher
  i will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
  i will hold on all night and never let go
  ev'ry second i live, that's the promise i make
  baby, that's what i'll give, if that's what it takes
  
  if that's what it takes
  every day
  if that's what it takes
  every day
• ortaokul yıllarıma düzenlenmiş tesadüfi gezinin bon jovi ayağında bugün. nası bağıra bağıra söylerdik, nası severdim bulunduğu albümü sen tahmin et; şimdi these days'i sıradan dinlerken bakıyorum da aradan 10 küsür yıl geçmiş bunu dinlemeyeli, nasıl özlemişim: http://fizy.com/#s/1d339c
• these days'in en güzel şarkılarından biri kesinlikle. "icap eden neyse onu yaparız amınakoim" kafasında geçirelecek günlere gayet yerinde bir fon müziği. şahsen denedim, oluyor.
• bon jovi'nin en sevdiğim şarkılarındandır.
  
  öyle ki bu şarkı birine yanında olacağınızı gösteren şarkılardandır.
• 82 model michael mcdonald albümü.
  
  i keep forgettin, love lies, i gotta try ve başka güzel şarkılar barındırır. steve lukather, jeff porcaro gibi kıymetli müzisyenlerin yer aldığı bir eserdir.
