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?
