 Ow! You don't drive a big fast car, no
 You don't look a-like a movie star
 And on your money we won't get far
 But baby, you got what it takes, Oh! to satisfy
 You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
 But oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
 You got what it takes for me

 Ow! You don't live in a beautiful place
 And you don't dress in the best of taste
 Oh! Nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
 But baby, you got what it takes, Oh! to satisfy
 You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
 But oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
 You got what it takes for me

 Now when you're near me, ooo-wee
 My head goes around and around
 And when you kiss me, a-little girl
 My love comes tumblin' down, you send me

 You don't live in a beautiful place
 Oh, you don't dress in the best of taste
 And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
 But baby, you got what it takes, Oh! to satisfy
 You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
 But oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
 You got what it takes for me

 Now when you're near me, mmm-mmm
 My head goes around and around and around and around
 And when you kiss me, a-little girl
 My love comes tumblin' down, you send me

 You don't live in a beautiful place, no
 You don't dress in the best of taste
 And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
 But baby, you got what it takes
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Yeah, you got what it takes
 Baby, I'm tellin' you
 You got what it takes

 Hey! hey! hey
