Lyrics
You've Got What It Takes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't drive a big black car.
And you don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far.
But Baby, you've got what it takes.
Satisfied, you've got what it takes
To set my soul on fire.
Waa and oh yah,
You've got what it takes for me.
Chorus:
You don't live in a beautiful place.
And you don't dress with the best of taste.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face,
But Baby, ooee, you've got what it takes.
Satisfied, you've got what it takes
To set my soul on fire.
Waa, and oh yah,
You've got what it takes for me.
Now when you're near me, ooee,
My head goes around and round.
And when you kiss me, ooee,
My world comes tumblin' down.
Chorus:
You don't live in a beautiful place.
And you don't dress with the best of taste.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face,
But Baby, ooee, you've got what it takes.

You don't live in a beautiful place.
And you don't dress with the best of taste.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face.
But Baby, ooee, you've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes.
You've got what it takes...
