My Heart Just Keeps Breaking

My heart just keeps breaking Staring out my window, wondering what to do, With this empty heart, inside this lonely room, I know how much I love you, but, I can't get through to you Chorus So, what's it take (oh baby) tell me, what does it take? What do I have to do to win your love? I offered you my love, but it's just not enough and my heart it just keeps breaking. Maybe I can't buy a mansion in Malibu, I can't even buy a penthouse with a view, Maybe way deep down that's been what, really bothers you! Chorus So, what's it take (oh baby) tell me, what does it take? What do I have to do to win your love? I offered you my love, but it's just not enough and my heart it just keeps breaking I know I can't be happy living without you, I always thought you'd be the one to see me through, Why is love so crazy, so unfair and so cruel? Chorus So, what's it take (oh baby) tell me, what does it take? What do I have to do to win your love? I offered you my love, but it's just not enough and my heart it just keeps breaking So tell me now, What does it take? Oh baby, What does it take? Oh darling, What... does .... it... take?

Not only is the desire and longing in this l song strong you can feel it, it wouldn't need to be for me because I know this feeling personally. Sounds like something Zeppelin might do, a bluesy rift leading into it. Very cool my friend.
