But, it takes somebody special
Like me, baby, to make me say, "I do"
You know you've got just what it takes
C'mon, let's do it one more time, all right?
Tell me about it, to make a romance sweet
I can't stay away from you
And it takes a lot of woman now, to knock me off my feet
I like your spot, to stay away from you
It'd take more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true
And baby a-you've got what it takes
And baby you've got what it takes
Well, now, it takes more than a Robin to make the winter go
Now it's you
Ooh, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete
C'mon, let's play it again, huh?
One more time, Brook
Because it takes oh yeah
You know it takes a lot of kissin'
Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you

But it takes somebody special to make me say, "I do"
And baby a-you've got what it takes, yeah
It takes more than a lifetime, Daddy, to prove that I'll be true
You're back in my spot again, honey
And baby, you've got it what it takes
I said, you know you've got just what it takes
And baby a-you've got what it takes
Oh, yeah, and baby a-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
