(Brook Benton - Clyde Otis - Murray Stein)
Well, 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' to make a romance bloom
Yeah, yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete
Yeah, it takes a lot of woman to knock me off of my feet
And baby, you've got what it takes.
Yeah, I said mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey, you've got just what it takes.
It takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it'd take more than a lifetime yeah to prove that I'll be true
Well, it takes somebody special to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes.
C'mon now ah ah mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey, you've got just what it takes.
--- Imstrumental ---
Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it'd take more than a lifetime yeah to prove that I'll be true
Well, it takes somebody special to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes.
C'mon now ah ah mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey, you've got just what it takes.
And baby you've got what it takes...
