Whatever It Takes
(G.L. Wijnalda)

Well, there's another lonely soul
Who thinks she's gonna make it
Who'll spit on anybody'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 we've gotta learn
And we learn by seeing, oh
Can you just believe this?
She's ready to do whatever it takes

Soon she'll be going through the things
That none of us wants to go through
Oh, none of us would rather like
To 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

Oh, show us what you're worth, girl
Give us just a little bit more
We all want to be famous
You just want to earn a bit one
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 says she'll change her life there
As if lying on your back does mean
You're really getting somewhere

And after 39 of so-called high-placed married lovers
She finally manages to get a real director under covers

Oh, show him what you're worth, girl
Give him just a little bit more
We all want to be famous
But you want to earn a bit more
And he don't care if you've got talent
He just cares if you f*** good
And above all that you've got to do
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes
