Tell me when to let go,
I'll swing this wrecking ball
There's trouble in the basement,
I can hear it through the floor
Stay up in the attic
and dare not make a sound
Is any more sadness
might bring this whole house down
Love takes a wrecking ball,
will it take a wrecking ball tonight?
Will it take a wrecking ball
to open your eyes?
Love takes a wrecking ball,
will it take a wrecking ball tonight?
How can you stay hear?
You'll disappear in smoke
I've given you a warning,
I'm letting go the rope
Come out of the basement
I am your reflection,
I do not see the joke
Love takes a wrecking ball,
will it take a wrecking ball tonight?
Will it take a wrecking ball
to open your eyes?
Love takes a wrecking ball,
will it take a wrecking ball tonight?
If we tear love down,
we'll be swinging on forever.
If we tear love down,
we'll be swinging on forever.
Love takes a wrecking ball,
takes a wrecking ball tonight
Will it take a wrecking ball
to open your eyes?
Love takes a wrecking ball,
takes a wrecking ball tonight...
