Do you ever play by the rules Or do you make yours along the way Do you ever stop before it's too late Do you ever listen to what people say Do you tend to run away If perfect is going wrong Do you ever stop to look around Do you ever listen to this song So tell me what does it take To make you swallow your pride Tell me what does it take To see those arms open wide Tell me what does it take Do you ever make a mistake And if you do, do you take the blame Do you ever hesitate Do you ever feel it's all in vain Do you ever cry when you're feeling down How do you feel Do you ever miss to belong somewhere Do you ever dream of something real So tell me what does it take To make you swallow your pride Tell me what does it take To see those arms open wide Tell me what does it take Would you answer me if you knew
