[Verse]
F# F#7
You don't drive a big fast car, no
C# C#7
You don't look a-like a movie star

And on that lil' old paycheck we won't get far

Now you don't live in a beautiful place
C# C#7
And you don't dress in the best of taste

And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
G# C#7 C#9 F#
But you got it, baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy

You got what it takes to set my soul on fire

Now when you kiss me

My head goes around and around
B7 Cdim7
Honey honey, And when you're near me,

My love comes tumblin' down, you send me (honey)
