About You Got It

"You Got It (The Right Stuff)" is a 1988 single from New Kids on the Block. The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight and Donnie Wahlberg. The second single from the group's second album Hangin' Tough, it peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in early 1989, while topping the UK charts in November 1989. On the album, it was simply listed as "The Right Stuff"; the change to the single was likely to avoid confusion with Vanessa Williams' debut hit "The Right Stuff", which charted earlier that year. A Spanish version of the song was made ("Autentica") and peaked at number 11 in Spain.

First time was a great time
Second time was a blast
Third time I fell in love 
Now I hope it lasts
I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
I can see it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts

You've got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You've got the right stuff, baby
You're the reason why I sing this song

All that I needed was you
Oh girl, you're so right
And all that I wanted was you
You made all
My dreams come true

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff

First kiss was sweet kiss
Second kiss had a twist 
Your third and your fourth kiss 
I don't want to miss
I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
I can see it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts

You've got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You've got the right stuff, baby
You're the reason why I sing this song

All that I needed was you
In my life, you're so right
And all that I wanted was you
You made all
Every one of my dreams come true

[Chorus]

Girl, yeah baby
You know you've got the right stuff
And girl, yeah baby
You know you, you know you've got it girl

In my life, you're so right
You made all
You know what you did

[Chorus]
