You got what it takes baby
Woo, com and sing with me
Well, it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin' to make a fire grow
Ooh baby, you've got what it takes, yeah
Well it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance sweet
Mmm, it takes a whole lot of lovin' to make my life complete
And it takes a whole lot of man, yes, it does
to knock me off my feet
Oh, oh baby, see you've got what it takes
Yes, you do
And I say, mmm, oh, ooh
You know you've got just what it takes
And it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody really special to make me say, I do
Oh and baby, you've got what it takes
Yes, you do
Ah, mmm, ah, mmm
See you know you've got what it takes
'Cause it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
But it takes somebody really special to make me say, I do
And you know baby, baby, see you've got what it takes
Yes, you do
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes
Yes, you do
Oh baby, baby, you, you've got what it takes
Oh, don't matter if you're going gray baby
Don't matter how you wear your hair baby
Oh, it don't matter where you wanna go, I'll be with you
Yes, I do, yes, I love you
And you, you, you, you've got what it takes
Oh, baby, oh you, you, you, you've got what, what it takes there
Baby, baby, baby, you've got what it takes
Really something special about you
Really something special about you
Oh, oh, oh yeah
