Whatever It Takes

Music: Gert Wijnalda
Lyrics: Gert Wijnalda
Album: After The Fire Into The Fire

Well, there’s another lonely soul who thinks she’s gonna make it
Who’ll spit on any other’s back and doesn’t mind to break it
And she don’t really care who’s head it is she’s trampling on
As long as hers will get on television

Well, as someone said: we’ve got to learn
And learn by seeing
Oh, can you just believe it?
She’s ready to do whatever it takes

So now she’s going through the things that none of us want to go through
Well, none of us would rather like be standing in her shoes
Not unless she’s gonna make it
Unless she’s gonna break it
If she really is a star
Then we’ll all want to be her

Well, show us what you’re worth, girl
Give us just a little bit more
We all want to be famous
And earn just a little bit more
And we don’t care if you’ve got talent
We just care if you look good
And above all that you’ve got to do
Whatever it takes

So now she’s going up to Hollywood, she thinks she’ll change her life there
As if lying on your back does mean you’re really getting somewhere
And after thirty-nine of so-called high-placed, married lovers
She finally manages to get a real director under covers

Show him what you’re worth girl
Give him just a little bit more
Oh, we all want to be famous
And earn just a little bit more
And we don’t care if you’ve got talent
We just care if you look good
And above all that you’ve got to do
Whatever it takes

Oh, whatever it takes (give us all)
She does whatever it takes (give us all)
Oh, whatever it takes, now!
