Baby, You’ve Got What It Takes

Baby, You’ve Got What It Takes - Dinah Washington/Brook Benton

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 C'mon

Let's play it again huh

SPOKEN C'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
