    They announced they are retiring today, ending the farewell tour. 54 years of being the great American rock band, what a sweet emotion.

    I‘m Japanese and this is my favorite song of all time.
    I met this song when I was in Junior high. Since then, I started memorize lyrics of songs from Aerosmith.
    That's how I learned English!
    Thank you Aerosmith!

    There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring
    And, uh, all those late night promises, I guess they don't mean a thing
    So baby, what's the story?
    Did you find another man?
    Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
    When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away
    I used to feel your fire but now it's cold inside
    And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep
    In the night
    Without thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me what it takes to let you go, yeah
    Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine
    But your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart's been doing time
    You spent me up like money then you hung me out to dry
    It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
    'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep
    In the night
    Without thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Guitar
    Tell me that you're happy, that you're on your own
    Yeah yeah, yeah
    Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
    Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
    Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
    Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Uh, tell me how it is that you can sleep
    In the night
    Without thinkin' you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
    No no no no
    'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
    Let go. Let go. Let go. I don't wanna burn in paradise
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    I don't wanna burn, I don't wanna burn
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

    Many years ago I fell hard for the love of my life, we outgrew each other it was sad, I always blamed myself, so many fights over stupid things we just couldn't get anything right one night she walked away when I hear this song even today 2022 I get that lump in my throat, It was my fault, in 2019 I got a message from an old friend that she had passed away she had a heart attack when they cleaned out her belongings in her nightstand they found an old photo of her and I at the fair, it was taken so many years ago....this year will be the last time I come back to this song, it's just too much pain for me.

    Definitely written by someone who has had their heart broken. I can't think of another heartbreak song with better lyrics.
    "Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch.
    Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much.
    Tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me."
    Just perfectly sums up the pain of loss.

    [Verse 1]
    There goes my old girlfriend
    There's another diamond ring
    And all those late night promises?
    I guess they don't mean a thing
    So, baby, what's the story?
    Did you find another man?
    Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
    When you don't look back
    I guess the feelings start to fade away
    I used to feel your fire
    But now it's cold inside
    And you're back on the street
    Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
    [Chorus]
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    [Verse 2]
    Yeah
    Girl, before I met you
    I was F.I.N.E, fine
    But your love made me a prisoner
    Yeah, my heart's been doing time
    You spent me up like money
    Then you hung me out to dry
    It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
    'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
    [Chorus]
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Aw, guitar!
    [Guitar solo]
    [Bridge]
    Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
    Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
    Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much
    Tell me you aren't dying when you're crying for me
    [Chorus]
    Tell me what it takes to let you go (Ooh)
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go (Oh yeah)
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice
    [Outro]
    Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice
    No, no, no, no, 'cause I don't want to burn in paradise
    Ooo
    Let go, let go, let go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    I don't want to burn, I don't want to burn
    Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go[repeat]

    Most people, including Aerosmith's biggest fans, have no idea what a complete and true masterpiece this song track is. It may take listening to 1000 times, but once you see the inner-workings of "What it Takes," you have this "holy shit" moment when you realize the magnitude of its complexity. Desmond Child together with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler created this magic and I literally feel sad for anyone who hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about here because it means they have never REALLY heard this song for what it is -- A true musical masterpiece.😎

    This was filmed at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas Tx. It was recently saved from the wrecking ball and remodeled extensively. Look up it's rich music history and go visit this music mecca if ever in the area. They did a great job promoting it's importance in Dallas music...

    I think this is one of the songs they created after getting sober. An inspiration for me to turn a page and do the same.

    There goes my old girlfriend
    There's another diamond ring
    And all those late night promises
    I guess they don't mean a thing
    So baby, what's the story?
    Did you find another man?
    Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
    When you don't look back
    I guess the feelings start to fade away
    I used to feel your fire
    But now it's cold inside
    And you're back on the street
    Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah!
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Girl, before I met you
    I was F-I-N-E, fine
    But your love made me a prisoner
    Yeah my heart's been doing time
    You spent me up like money
    Then you hung me out to dry
    It was easy to keep
    All your lies in disguise
    'Cause you had me in deep
    With the devil in your eyes
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Guitar!
    Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
    Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
    Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
    Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
    Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was
    Good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
    No no no no no
    'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
    Let go, let go, let go
    I don't wanna burn in paradise
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go (I don't wanna burn)
    Let it go, let it go, let it go (I don't wanna burn)
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go, let it go

    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice. That line has haunted me for many years.
