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 here?
You'll disappear in smoke
I've given you a warning,
I'm letting go the rope

Come out of the basement
and let me share your load
I am your reflection,
I do not see the joke

Love takes a wrecking ball
will it take a wrecking ball tonight?
(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 (swinging on forever..)

Love takes a wrecking ball
takes a wrecking ball tonight (o open your eyes..)

Love takes a wrecking ball
takes a wrecking ball tonight
Swinging on forever
