Robert Palmer - What's It Take? lyrics

You're lonely, can I see you I hire a private red-eye rocket But when I walk in here You're wanna go through all my pockets What's it take? Mama what's it take? I've known you all these years And still you overhaul my letters They don't confirm your fears But when I'm dead you'll know me better What's it take? Mama what's it take? My mistake was thinking I had it covered I haven't made the first move What's it take to get it through to you mama? What does it take to love you? I take you out to dinner You ask me why I'm acting guilty I thought I'd backed a winner This love affair is gonna k** me What's it take? Mama what's it take? You say you're only teasing I wanna try a new position You wanna know the reason I've got a Spanish Inquisition What's it take? Mama what's it take? My mistake was thinking I had it covered I haven't made the first move What's it take to get it through to you mamma? What does it take to love you? I wanna hear the gossip You say I like a real ambition I ask you if you've got it You document my inhibitions What's it take? Mama what's it take? What's it take? Mama what's it take?
