What`s It Take — текст песни (Robert Palmer)

(Robert Palmer)

You`re lonely can I see you
I hire a private red-eye rocket
But when I walk in here
You wanna go through all my pockets

What`s it take?
Mamma 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?
Mamma 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 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 kill me

What`s it take?
Mamma 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?
Mamma 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?
Mamma what`s it take?
Mamma what`s it take?
What`s it take?
