Well, now, 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
 And baby you've got what it takes

 You know it takes a lot of kissin' 
 Spoken: (Tell me about it) to make a romance sweet 
 Ooh, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete

 Mmm, and it takes a lot of woman to knock me off my feet
 and baby, you've got what it takes

 I said,  mm, mm, mm. uh-huh, mm, mm, mm
 Ah, ah, hah  mm, mm

 You know you've got just what it takes!
 Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
 It'd take more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
 But it takes somebody special to make me say, "I do"

 Spoken: "Oh, yeah"
 And baby, you've got what it takes

 Ah, ah, hah  mm, mm, uh-huh, mm, mm, mm
 Mmm

 You know you've got just what it takes
 Because it takes oh yeah
 Spoken: **" You're back in my spot again, honey"**
 
 Spoken:**"I like your spot"**
 To stay away from you

 Spoken: "I can't stay away from you"
 It takes more than a lifetime, daddy, to prove that I'll be true
 Spoken: "Now it's you"

 But, it takes somebody special  Spoken: "Like me, baby to make me say, "I do"
 And baby you've got what it takes

 Spoken: "see'mon, let's play it again, huh?"
 Spoken: "see'mon, let's do it one more time, all right?"
  And baby you've got what it takes
 Spoken: "One more time, Brook"

 Spoken: "Ah-ha, OK, Ah-ha"
 And baby you've got what it takes
