Tank - If That's What It Takes Lyrics

Wow ..sooooo.. deep and beautiful

Exactly.

Dang why haven't I heard this song I'm adding it to my playlist 🔥🔥😂🤣

This song puts you in a trance.....

I didn't realize how single I was .....until listening to this song 😭😭😭😭😭😭

love this song

This song put me in tears. Fellows, when you got a good woman and she got your back through thick and thin, this song is dedicated to her.

Just beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍

are men willing to go thru 9 months of pain? lol

I'll drown in the fire
I'll burn up in the rain
If that's what it takes
I'll carry your baby
Do that 9 months of pain
If that's what it takes
Can't you see way past the need?
This conversation is pure desperation
I'll dig for your diamond
Brick by brick I'll build you a home
If that's what it takes
I'll be your soldier
Fight till every enemy is gone
If that's what it takes
'Cause I'm completely sold out to you
Ain't making no more, nothing left in the store yeah, yeah
Any man that ever did you wrong
I'll find him and make him apologize
If that's what it takes
Baby lemme be your fool
Hurt me any way you like
If that's what it takes
Listen, girl when God made you
He only made one and He made you for me can't you see hey yeah
I'll take my blood and give it all to you
If you need it to live
If that's what, what it takes ooh
I'll spend my last dime for your ticket
On that train to heaven
If that's what, what it takes, yeah
'Cause I love you so much I gotta find
A way to love you in more lifetimes, yeah
If That's What It Takes
Throw it all away, I don't care about nothing,
If that's what it takes
Got my heart in yo hands
Hold it for ransom, till you'd get what you need
As long as you can
I'd hum for you hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm mhmm
Oh oh oh oh oh hm hm hm hm hm oh oh oh oh oh
Hm hm hm hm hm hm yeah what it take
Later I'mma let it ride, let it ride, let it ride oh

Hmhmhmhm mhm mhmh mh mhm mh mh mh mhmh
Oh oho oh oh oh oh

I'll drown in the fire
I'll burn up in the rain
If that's what it takes
I'll carry your baby
Do that 9 months of pain
If that's what it takes

Can't you see way past the need?
This conversation is pure desperation
I'll dig for your diamond
Brick by brick I'll build you a home
If that's what it takes 
I'll be your soldier
Fight till every enemy is gone

DANG TANK THEY NEED TO CLONE YOU FOR ALL US SINGLE WOMEN!! WOW!!!!

Respect! !!!

Tank is my favorite artist. It takes a real musician to take the MUTO'S mating songs and incorporate them into one of the best love songs I've ever heard. Tank is the realist!

Toward the ending is where you close your eyes and let me music relax your mind.

I just want him to look at me. Omg

Its Like water

The Keys are beautiful

Vocals, keys, pen game....THE GENERAL

I love this song. But why do they have someone's hungry stomach noise in the song? LMAO

Very underrated. This dude has seen me through some stuff. He got songs for every occasion. Much respect.

i wanna fuck to this song

Lawd I've been sleeping in tank!!

The realest song ever 🤗

If that's what it takes. My homie tank killing it.

I'll drown in the fire
I'll burn up in the rain
If that's what it takes
I'll carry your baby
Do that 9 months of pain
If that's what it takes

Can't you see way past the need?
This conversation is pure desperation
I'll dig for your diamond
Brick by brick I'll build you a home
If that's what it takes 
I'll be your soldier
Fight till every enemy is gone
If that's what it takes

Cause I'm completely sold out to you
Ain't making no more, nothing left in the store yeah, yeah
Any man that ever did you wrong
I'll find him and make him apologize
If that's what it takes
Baby lemme be your fool
Hurt me any way you like
If that's what it takes
Listen, girl when God made you

I'll take my blood and give it all to you
If you need it to live
If that's what, what it takes ooohhh
I'll spend my last dime for your ticket
On that train to heaven
If that's what, what it takes, yeah

Cause I love you so much I gotta find

..............damn!(with a blank stare)

Even in the year 2018... thank goodness for Tank 😩👍🏽

Funny when he says I'll hum for you

Tank is my fucking nigga! point, blank, simple. His words are magnets of truth that pull anyone who listens into the experience of those words, because the words are pure truth wrapped in fire of passion. no r&b artist can touch tank. Period.

This song puts me in a trance. 💋✌

It just don't make any sense at all to be this musically magical......Tank is the true epitome of heartfelt, I'll die and cry for you, R&B......

I'm in love with voice and the runs this song man

This song made me cry but I promise you I'll be ok

This song is everything.....I would love to sit down with Tank and ask him what was he going through or thinking when he wrote this piece of art. Yes, art.....This song says it all. I would love to hear Tank perform this song live. He never sing this song at any of his concerts.Tank you are one gifted, talented human being!

For real. Would love to see him perform this on a "B" sides/ album cuts segment of his tour.

Johnnie Smith
Wow

This song is dope in every way imaginable: musical arrangement, vocals, flow, tone, mood, etc.

This SONG, this Album!!!! (Sex, Love & Pain is the beginning of his new era sound and I'm loving it!) This song makes me cry uncontrollably.. to know that there are men, real men out there who actually know what it's like to love whole heartedly and don't give a damn what it takes to show you that they are for you. which is kind effed up if you have someone doing it all to prove to you that they are everything that you want and more. ignore the gestures if you will but .... wow..... that is effed up.... they may be your first and last... never to find another.

This song will bring u to tears. Words are powerful

This song is one of the most beautiful love songs I have heard in a long time. I will be playing it at my next events. (The Love Down Below)

Ummmmmmm, YES!

why wasn't a video made and pushed for this record.. best one on the album! this is so slept on.. it's powerful! I might have to make my own video starring me to show what I see when I hear this.. mann, I love this record! #TANKAREALNIGGA

Ill drown in the fire... Ill burn up in the rain... (Faints before the song finishes)...

I died 😂😂😂💯

he saying he'll do the impossible but me too I was like whattttt well where you at lol

Maria Jackson I know that shit right ..this man makes me cringe inside ...I lust so bad for him..omg

I can't get enough of this song.

This is such a beautiful song. lyrically and vocally.
