IF IT TAKES EVERY RIB I'VE GOT
Writers: Bud McGuire, Marty Raybon, Troy Seals

I AIN’T NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER MAN
ABOUT PASSION AND ROMANCE
I’VE MADE THE MISTAKES, I’VE HAD THE HEARTACHES
BUT I HAD TO TAKE A CHANCE

LOVE IS ON A MOUNTAIN WAITING WAY UP HIGH
I’LL CLIMB IT STONE BY STONE
IT’S WORTH EVERY STEP, I DON’T WANT TO BE LEFT
HERE IN THE GARDEN ALONE

CHORUS
LORD YOU TOOK A RIB FROM ADAM
AND MADE A LITTLE WOMAN CALLED EVE
IF IT AIN’T ASKING WAY TOO MUCH
COULD YOU DO A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR ME
SHE DON’T HAVE TO BE NO ANGEL
MAN I’M IN A REAL TOUGH SPOT
I’M WILLING TO GIVE ‘EM TO YA ONE BY ONE
IF IT TAKES EVERY RIB I’VE GOT
IF IT TAKES EVERY RIB I’VE GOT

I THINK I’VE BEEN IN LOVE MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE
BUT I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER BEEN LOVED
BEEN CLOSE TO THE FIRE, CLOSE TO DESIRE
ENOUGH TO KNOW I’LL NEVER GIVE UP

I KNOW SHE’S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
LAYING HER HEART ON THE LINE
I BET SHE’S DEALING WITH THE SAME OLE FEELING
SAME IS THING CROSSING HER MIND

CHORUS
