You Got What It Takes
Unparalleled Essence: Embracing True Depth
Lyrics
You don't drive a big fast car, no
You don't possess a large, fast car.
You don't look a-like a movie star
You don't resemble a movie star.
And on your money we won't get far
Your financial status isn't affluent.
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
Despite the above, you have qualities that can bring satisfaction.
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You have the ability to ignite passion in me.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
An expression of excitement or affirmation.
You got what it takes for me
You possess qualities that are appealing to me.
Now you don't live in a beautiful place
You don't reside in a visually stunning location.
And you don't dress in the best of taste
Your fashion sense is not the most refined.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
You weren't naturally endowed with a beautiful face.
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
Despite the mentioned shortcomings, you have what it takes to satisfy.
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You possess qualities that can deeply affect and excite my soul.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
Expressing enthusiasm or affirmation.
You got what it takes for me
You have qualities that appeal to me personally.
Now when you're near me, ooo-wee
When you are close, it has a significant effect on me.
My head goes around and around
Describing the disorienting impact of the person's presence.
And when you kiss me,
Highlighting the impact of a kiss.
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
Emphasizing the intense emotional response to the person.
You don't live in a beautiful place
Reiteration of not living in an aesthetically pleasing location.
Oh, you don't dress in the best of taste
Your fashion sense is reiterated as not being the best.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
Emphasizing the absence of a naturally beautiful face.
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
Despite the mentioned shortcomings, you have what it takes to satisfy.
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Reiteration of the person's ability to ignite deep emotions.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
Expressing enthusiasm or affirmation.
You got what it takes for me
Reaffirmation of the person having qualities that appeal.
Now when you're near me, mmm-mmm
Repetition of the disorienting effect when the person is near.
My head goes around and around and around and around
Emphasizing the overwhelming impact of the person.
And when you kiss me, a-little girl
Describing the effect of a kiss from the person.
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
Highlighting the intense emotional response to the person.
You don't live in a beautiful place, no
Reiteration of not living in a visually stunning place.
You don't dress in the best of taste
Your fashion sense is repeated as not being the best.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
Emphasizing the absence of a naturally beautiful face.
But baby, you got what it takes
Despite the mentioned shortcomings, the person has what it takes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Affirmation of the person having the necessary qualities.
Yeah, you got what it takes
Repetition of affirming that the person possesses what it takes.
Baby, I'm tellin' you
A direct statement emphasizing the person's qualities.
You got what it takes
A reaffirmation of the person having the necessary qualities.
Hey! hey! hey!
A cheerful exclamation, possibly emphasizing agreement or approval.
