Whatever It Takes (To Make You Stay) - Troop

Girl, have you talked to your man yet?

My man hasn’t even called me yet

Then, what about you

I haven’t talked to my man, either

They have been gone too long

This is just too hard

Well, I knew it was going to be hard when they left

But this is ridiculous

He’s gonna have to do something real special

When he gets back

Well, whatever it takes

I know I can’t always be there

When you call my name, ah, yeah

Sometimes baby

I know you think it ain’t fair

When I ain’t there

But I care

Well baby I know

You got a life of your own

You need something more

Than just a romance on the phone

Never forget, you’re not alone

When something’s wrong

Baby that just won’t do

Because I don’t want to be without you

Whatever it takes to make you stay

Stay as my lover

Whatever it takes to make you stay

Stay as my girl, stay as my woman

Others try to make you think you need

Material things, ah, yeah (baby)

Offer you a life that’s filled with greed

But it don’t compare

To what we share (our love is rare)

Well baby I know

With all that’s going on

I’m gonna do my best

To just keep us going on

Going on, going strong

I just want to let you know

That I’m never gonna let you go

Whatever it takes to make you stay

(Whatever it takes, baby)

Stay as my lover

Whatever it takes to make you stay

Stay as my girl

Our love is rare

Baby, I know you got a life of your own

You need something more

Not another romance on the telephone

Never forget, you’re not alone

(When something’s wrong)

Baby, that just won’t do

I can’t have me, without you

Whatever it takes to make you stay

(You stay)

Stay as my lover

(My baby, stay as my lover)

Whatever it takes to make you stay

(Stay baby)

Stay as my girl

(Stay as my lady)

Our love is rare

Whatever it takes

My baby

Whatever it takes, my baby girl

If it takes the world

I can’t live alone

C’mon baby
