Lyrics

[Verse 1] You don't drive a big fast car And you don't look like a movie star And on your money We won't get far [Chorus] But baby, you got what it takes (Yeah, yeah) To satisfy (Yeah, yeah) You got what it takes to set my soul on fire (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) And whoaaa, whoa-yeah You got what it takes for me [Verse 2] You don't live in a beautiful place And you don't dress with the best of taste And nature didn't give you Such a beautiful face [Chorus] But baby, you got what it takes (Yeah, yeah) To satisfy (Yeah, yeah) You got what it takes to set my soul on fire (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) And whoaaa, whoa-yeah You got what it takes for me [Verse 3] And when you're near me, ooh-wee My head goes around and around And when you kiss me, whoa-yeah My love comes tumblin' down, you send me You don't live in a beautiful place And you don't dress with the best of taste And nature didn't give you Such a beautiful face [Chorus] But baby, you got what it takes (Yeah, yeah) To satisfy (Yeah, yeah) You got what it takes to set my soul on fire (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) And whoaaa, whoa-yeah You got what it takes for me [Verse 3] And when you're near me, ooh-wee My head goes around and around And when you kiss me, whoa-yeah My love comes tumblin' down, you send me You don't live in a beautiful place And you don't dress with the best of taste And nature didn't give you Such a beautiful face [Chorus] But baby, you got what it takes (Yeah, yeah) To satisfy (Yeah, yeah) You got what it takes to set my soul on fire (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) And whoaaa, whoa-yeah You got what it takes for me Whoa-yeah You got what it takes for me Hmm You got what it takes for me No need no If I close But you got what it takes for me Hmm, you got what it takes for me
