Well, now it (F)takes more

than a rob in

to make the win ter go;

and it (Bb7)takes two lips of fire

to (F)melt a way the snow.

Well, it (C7)takes two hearts a cook in’

to (C7)make a fire grow,

and, ba by,

(C7)you’ve got what it takes.

You know it (F7)takes

a lot of kiss in’

to make a ro mance sweet.

Ooh, it (Bb7)takes

a lot of lov in’

to (F7)make my life com plete;

and it (C7)takes a lot of (Bb7)wom an

to (C7)knock me off my feet,

and, ba by,

(C7)you’ve

got what it (F)takes.

I say (Bb7)mm,

uh huh huh, (Bb7)mm,

you (C7)know you’ve got just what it takes.

Be cause it (F)takes more

than an (F7)ef fort

to stay a way from you.

It takes (Bb7)more

than a life time

to (F)prove that I’ll be true;

but it (C7)takes

some bod y (Bb7)spe cial

to (C7)make me say, “I do,”
