Mel Carter & Dinah Washington & Brook Benton - Baby (you've got what it takes) lyrics

Your rating:

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
