You're lonely - can I see you
I hire a private, red-eye rocket
But when I walked in here
You wanna go through all my pockets
What's it take - Momma 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 - Momma 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 trough to you Momma
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 - Momma 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 - Momma 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 trough to you Momma
What does it take to love you

I wanna hear the gossip
You say I lack a real ambition
I ask you if you've got it
You document my inhibitions
What's it take - Momma what's it take
Momma what's it take - What's it take
