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

FADE

NOTE: Exchange at ** apparently prompted when Brook jumped into a line that

Dinah was supposed to sing.
