Baby (You've Got What It Takes)

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
Because it takes more than an effort
And baby you've got what it takes
Baby (You've Got What It Takes)
