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