You 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 fast car, no
You don't look a-like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah yeah)
To satisfy (yeah yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
But oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
You got what it takes for me
Ow! You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress in the best of taste
Oh! Nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
You got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me, ooo-wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me, oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Oh, oh, whoa-oh, and whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh
You got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me, little girl
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me, oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh
You got what it takes for me
Oh yeah, You got what it takes
You got what it takes for me
