Whatever It Takes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dancing on a tightrope
Walking with the moonshine
Sneaking up the wrong road
Making up an alibi
Clawing, scraping, living ain't easy
Looking for a friend
Dancing madly backwards and forwards
Searching for the bend
Keep on rollin', let it flow
Got a feelin' I want you to know
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do whatever it takes
Making no apologies
Out of mediocrity
I'm feelin' like a dynamo
With no particular place to go
Good times, bad times, nothing can stop me
Got the will to survive
Get up, stand up, won't be afraid of
All the fear that's inside
So keep on rollin', let it flow
Got a feelin' I want you to know
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do whatever it takes
In the corner, holding court
There's a fever we all sport
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Clawing, scraping, living ain't easy
Looking for a friend
Dancing madly backwards and forwards
Stop!
Keep on rollin', let it flow
Got a feelin' I want you to know
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do whatever it takes
In the corner, holding court
There's a fever we all sport
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do whatever it takes
Rock the river, shake the lake
We're gonna do
Nothing to lose every days
Think I want
Shake for me
Baby, Mamamamamamama
Living in the fantasy
In the all
