Marvin Gaye - You've Got What It Takes Lyrics

Marvin Gaye Lyrics

"You've Got What It Takes"
(with Tammi Terrell)

You don't drive a big fine car
You don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
But baby, you got what it takes

Satisfied, you got what it takes to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You got what it takes for me

You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby you got what it takes to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You've got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me
My head goes around and 'round
And when you kiss me
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby you got what it takes to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You've got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me
My head goes around and 'round
And when you kiss me
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

Satisfied, you got what it takes to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
You got what it takes for me
