Van Morrison - Baby You Got What It Takes lyrics

Well, it takes more than a robin

To make a winter cold

Then it takes two lips of fire

To melt away the snow

Yeah, and it takes two hearts a-cookin'

To make a fire glow

And baby, you got what it takes

(Pullin' together)

Well, it takes a lot of kissin'

To make a romance sweet

And it takes a lot of lovin'

To make my life complete

And it takes a lot of woman

To knock me off-a my feet

And baby, you got what it takes

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we

Baby, you've got just what it takes

And it takes more than an effort

To stay away from you

And it takes more than a lifetime

To prove that I'll be true

(Sing it with me)

Yeah, and it takes somebody special

To make me say, I do

And baby, you got what it takes

Woo-woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-we

Baby, you got just what it takes

Well, it takes more than an effort (hoo)

To stay away from you (ooo, I know it)

And it takes more than a lifetime

To prove that I'll be true

And it takes somebody special

To make me say, I do

And baby, you got what it takes

Oh yeah

And baby, you got what it takes

And baby, you got what it takes
