(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?
