[Verse 1]
I just got home from work
Oh, what have I done?
You're pointing your finger at me
Like I've done something wrong
Every day you wake up
On the wrong side of the bed
And maybe I'd be better off
On my own instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel as though I'm never
Never good enough
If I hear anymore I'm heading for the door
[Chorus]
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
It takes a lot to love you
Oh, things have to change
Oh, it's all a game
Oh, let me explain
It takes a lot to love you
[Verse 2]
And when we got together
You were so carefree
You always smiled and laughed
I thought that's how we'd be
[Pre-Chorus]
But now you look at me and everything
And everything's my fault
I thought you were the one
But now you're just no fun
[Chorus]
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
It takes a lot to love you
Oh, things have to change
Oh, it's all a game
Oh, let me explain
It takes a lot to love you
[Bridge]
Baby, I'm just saying it's you that's changed
Are you ever coming, coming back, coming back again?
Ooh, it takes a lot
Ooh, it takes a lot
Ooh, it takes a lot
It takes a lot to love you
[Chorus]
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
Oh, it takes a lot
It takes a lot to love you
Oh, things have to change
Oh, it's all a game
Oh, let me explain
It takes a lot to love you
[Outro]
Ooh, it takes a lot
It takes a lot to love you
