Lyrics Baby, You've Got What It Takes (Bonus Track) - Dinah Washington , Brook Benton

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'
(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, mmmm
Uh-huh, mm, mm, mmmm
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"
(Oh, yeah)
And baby, you've got what it takes

Ah, ah, hah mm, mmm
Uh-huh, mm, mm, mm
You know you've got just what it takes

Because it takes oh yeah
(You're back in my spot again, honey)
(I like your spot)
To stay away from you
(I can't stay away from you)
It takes more than a lifetime, daddy
To prove that I'll be true
(NOW it's you)
But, it takes somebody special
(Like me, baby)
To make me say, "I do"
And baby you've got what it takes

(C'mon, let's play it again, huh?)
(C'mon, let's do it one more time, all right?)
And baby you've got what it takes
(One more time, Brook)
(Ah-ha, OK, Ah-ha)
And baby you've got what it takes
