(I was talkin' to my friend, Buzz, one day
He said, "I wonder what it takes to be true"
I said "I know a couple of things")
It don't take quittin' or turnin' away
Or even lookin' for a brighter day
Always wonderin' what to do
And what it takes to be true
Partied on, played the field
Searchin' for a love that's real
Nothin' seemed to lead me to
What it takes to be true
All at once our eyes met
In a moment I won't forget
I had a feelin' I could bet on you
You were my star in the night
You brought the truth to light
Now, I see what it takes to be truе
(Don't take much, just ev'rything)
A steadfast man with a plan in his hеart
A good woman to do her part
Good love will pull you through
That's what it takes to be true
It took some time but I found out
What bein' faithful was all about
Now, I know what to do
And what it takes to be true
You were my star in the night
You brought the truth to light
Now, I see what it takes to be true
(That's about the way that story goes)
