What does it take to win her heart?
pop rock adult contemporary ballad love song soft rock
Artist picture
An adult contemporary band, with influences derived from classic and progressive rock, pop, jazz, and even classical.
"Intermezzo" is what I call "my band" (really just me, some friends who can sing -- because I sure can't -- and some MIDI equipment). It is my vehicle for demonstrating my material. My material is probably best described as yacht rock. I am pleased to announce that I've created a DIstroKid account! You can view my HyperFollow here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/intermezzo1/intermezzo Also, through my DistroKid account, my music is now also available on the following (among others): iTunes/Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/intermezzo/1582282477 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/24Smq4apfS2XM9zVS6qRZB Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D9CTHFH

Story behind the song
I wrote this song for a girl I was interested in at the time. The lyrics are pretty much what was going through my mind as I was working up the balls to ask her out. The clarinet part is important; both the girl in question and I play the clarinet. (As a side note, I did eventually ask her out. I think I upset her; she never spoke to me again afterward! C'est la vie!) Jim O'Brien, vocals Ray Kim, keyboards and clarinet
Lyrics
WHAT DOES IT TAKE Words and music by Ray Kim Verse 1: You were the last person I thought I'd ever see, But when I saw you, a feeling I thought lost came back to me Since then, I haven't thought about anything else but you The feeling now is so strong, and it seems so true Chorus: Tell me, what does it take for me to win you over? What does it take to win your heart? What does it take for someone to love you? What does it take to be part of your life? Verse 2: I feel like a kid back in his school-daze playground world, Just like Charlie Brown trying to talk to that little red-haired girl Hey girl, is someone there that you're waiting to see? Is someone else out there, or could that one be me? Chorus: Tell me, what does it take for me to win you over? What does it take to win your heart? What does it take for someone to love you? What does it take to be part of your life? Bridge: You're like a closed book I'm trying to open, Wishing I could read the pages of your heart Trying to figure out what youre feeling, And wondering if I could play a part Verse 3: All I want is to tell you how I feel, But I'm so afraid; is something there? Is this for real? Everything about you just feels so right Can't fight the feeling; I've got to let you know tonight Chorus: Tell me, what does it take for me to win you over? What does it take to win your heart? What does it take for someone to love you? What does it take to be part of your life? Copyright 1998, Ray Kim
