    brook benton dinah washington
    well now it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
    and it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
    well it takes two hearts acookin’ to make a fire grow
    and baby you’ve got what it takes yeah

    dinah washington brook benton
    you know it takes a lot of kissin’
    tell me about it
    to make a romance sweet uh huh
    ooh it takes a lot of lovin’ to make my life complete
    mmm and it takes a lot of woman to knock me off my feet
    and baby you’ve got what it takes

    dinah washington and brook benton
