Dinah Washington

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

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
