IT TAKES GUTS
(Papageorge)
VERSE #1
IT TAKES GUTS some days just to get outa bed
But I know this time I'm in over my head
I'm just kidding myself thinking I'm in control
When I know I'm in love from my heart and my soul
Every waking moment now I think of you
IT TAKES GUTS to love you the way that I do
VERSE #2
IT TAKES GUTS to throw away my ole black book
And not give it a second look
And to have to admit to all of my friends
That my single days have all come to an end
Cause you're not like anyone I ever knew
IT TAKES GUTS to love you the way that I do
BRIDGE:
But there's no way I can change the way I feel
There's a sense of helplessness
That you get when it's for real
VERSE #3
IT TAKES GUTS to live with my heart on the line
When I know it could break with no warning sign
This is not some bungy jump for joy
It's no longer a game that I played as a boy
This is gonna take a lifetime to live through
IT TAKES GUTS to love you the way that I do
BRIDGE:
But there's no way I can change the way I feel
There's a sense of helplessness
That you get when it's for real
REPEAT VERSE #1
IT TAKES GUTS some days just to get outa bed
But I know this time I'm in over my head
I'm just kidding myself thinking I'm in control
When I know I'm in love from my heart and my soul
Every waking moment now I think of you
IT TAKES GUTS to love you the way that I do
