C[l]over Girl after Emily Dickinson - To make a prairie it takes a clover
To make true change it takes a Biden and one B.
One Biden and a B.
And reverie.
But reverie alone won't do
'til Palin's blue.
To make an omelette it takes some milk and one egg.
Some milk and an egg
and gas or light.
With reverie alone make do
if we're not few.
To stake a claim takes some land and one hope.
Some land and a hope,
called reverie.
The reverie alone won't do
with carats few.
To bake a cake it takes...
'and so ad infinitum'

Baby You Got What It Takes
Well, it takes more than a robin
To make a winter cold
Then it takes two lips of fire
To melt away the snow
Yeah, and it takes two hearts a-cookin
To make a fire glow
And baby, you got what it takes
(pullin together)
Well, it takes a lot of kissin
To make a romance sweet
And it takes a lot of lovin
To make my life complete
And it takes a lot of woman
To knock me off-a my feet
And baby, you got what it takes
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we
Baby, youve got just what it takes
And it takes more than an effort
To stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime
To prove that Ill be true
(sing it with me)
Yeah, and it takes somebody special
To make me say, I do
And baby, you got what it takes
Woo-woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-we
Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-we
Baby, you got just what it takes
Well, it takes more than an effort (hoo)
To stay away from you (ooo, I know it)
And it takes more than a lifetime
To prove that Ill be true
And it takes somebody special
To make me say, I do
And baby, you got what it takes
Oh yeah
And baby, you got what it takes
And baby, you got what it takes

It Takes Two
(sylvia moy, william stevenson)
One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can see how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make a light shine through
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
One can have a broken heart living in misery
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar like an island hes all alone
Two can make just any place seem just like bein at home
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
One can go out to a movie looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie something really kind of neat
And one can take a walk in the moonlight thinking that its really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand is like adding just a pinch of spice
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

It Takes 3
[Chorus:]
It takes 3, U and me
And her 2 - tell me pretty baby what U wanna do
I've seen the future, baby, and it looks like U and I
All wrapped up in love that'll never die
Maybe I just want another 2 keep U happy while I'm away
A friend as special as U should never be lonely, a single day
It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me (Hey)
It takes 3
Nothin' I want 2 do will make U uncomfortable, I swear
Wherever my hands go, baby, it'll be cuz U put 'em there
I could be satisfied with talking about all we could do
But I'm wise enough 2 know that's the only way 2 get wit' U
And her 2
[Chorus]
It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me
It takes 3
Check this out
U know my every thought if U think about it long enough
Don't ask me why, nothing's lost if U try
But 2 not, is 2 never know if U and me and her could flow
Let's go, let's go 2 the land of "Yes I will"
G'on put your foot up on that window sill
It takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me (Hey)
[Chorus]
Hell yeah, baby
Shake all that
[Chorus]
Girl, U got something the whole world should see
I'm so proud of U
If I can't get a witness who'll believe it's true (It takes 3)
Nobody, that's why it takes 3
If U ain't got a friend U can't see me (It takes 3)
U can't see me
(It takes 3)
Fellows g'on and sing that I'm jettin'
(If U ain't got a friend U can't be with me)
Don't forget your rain coat

Thats What It Takes
And now it begins to shine
And you found the eyes to see
Each little drop at dawn of evry day
Your smile, it comes back to me
And whatever you may say
Dont let it stop, never fade away
As we got to get out in this world together, oh
Doesnt really matter if we start to make some changes, oh
If thats what it takes (thats what it takes)
Then Ive got to be strong (thats what it takes)
Dont want to be wrong
If thats what it takes
The closer I get (thats what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
Ive got to be sure
If thats what it takes
And now that its shining through
And you can see all this world
Dont let it stop, never fade away
If we got to be in this life forever, oh-oh
Then wed better be taking all the chances, oh oh
If thats what it takes (thats what it takes)
Then Ive got to be strong (thats what it takes)
Dont want to be wrong
If thats what it takes
The closer I get (thats what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
Ive got to be sure
If thats what it takes
Thats what it takes, thats what it takes
Thats what it takes, thats what it takes

It Takes Love
Written by glen burtnik, bob berger
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Sometimes its hard to smile
Keep looking back
Searching for somebody
Who once was in your life
Baby let him go now
Therell be something better ahead
It takes love to make love
You cant hide behind your broken heart
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you
We all have tears to cry
But there comes a day
To leave your tears behind you
And give your heart
Someplace to start
And if you find your way there
Therell be someone waiting for you
It takes love to make love
You cant hide behind your broken heart
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you
Like a river
That flows
To the sea
Dont wait
Like a river
Flowing down
Whoa...hey...ooh...ah...ooh
It takes love to make love
You cant hide behind your broken heart
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you
It takes love to make love
Never mind the broken heart baby
It takes love to make love
Let the light of another lover shine on you

What It Take To Make A World
it takes a woman to provide for the world
it takes a man to make the world
it takes a child to work for the world if he trys
to raise a man that man needs a man to teach him how to be
it take the love of a mother to make things better
to takes a world to make us
and it takes a woman to raise a lady not a slave or his goto girl

What Does it Takes
What does it takes
For me to be with you?
I will do anything to make you happy
If you give me a chance,
I will show you something that no other girls have
What does it takes
For me to have you in my arms?
I will change myself for you
How long will it take for you to say yes to me?
I will wait forever until you are with me
What does it takes
For me to be your girlfriend?
I will be that girl you looking for
You can just love me for who I'm
You see there something good happen
What does it takes
For me to have my dream guy?
I will not be like others girls you been with
Can you just admit to yourself that you are holding back on me and I'm Mrs. Right
What does it takes
For me to hold your hand, smile, laugh, and kiss?
I will not do anything wrong and cheat on you
You got to trust your heart and what you want
You should not care what others say and if their your friends they will eventually like me
What does it takes
For me to be your girlfriend?
I will be that girl you searching for
You can just love me for who I'm
You see there something good happen
What does it takes

Intuition
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other peoples superstitions
It seemed like suicide
As I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
Its good to be alive
And when Im deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
Its then I realize its only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me anywhere
(takes me anywhere, alright)
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there

Takes One Man
It takes one man to tell a lie
To start a rumor he will deny
Then to hide and cower in the light
As he has no dignity and no pride.
It takes one man to start a fight
To bully the weak with his might
To believe he's something in his mind
Though he is nothing in others sight
It takes one man to start a war
To pick on the needy and the poor
To think he is mighty with his roar
But he is nothing as he was before.
It takes one man to make a woman a whore.
To make her cheap and easy and all will ignore
To take away her pride which she had before
While he then cares for her not anymore.
It takes one man to change a life
Till the day he is born until he dies
To know when he is wrong, and tries to do right
While honesty and devotion is in his sight.
It takes one man to make a stand
To grab destiny and honor by the hand
While worries and temptations he will withstand
And as in life, it will only take just one man.

Four Leaf Clover
I wish I could find
a four-leaf clover
to give me a bit of luck.
Therefore, off I trotted
to have a look.
I found a lot of clover,
but not one
four leafed clover there.

It Takes Two

Duet with rod stewart
Producers: rod stewart and kim weston
Album: simply the best (91), the collected recordings (94)
One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about living love
Two can see how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
One can have a broken heart
Living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
Thats a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar
Like an island here all alone
Two can make just any place
Seem just like being at home
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
One can go out to the movies
Looking for a special treat
Two can make that scene in the movies
Something really kind of neat
One can take a walk in the moonlight
Thinking that its really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand
Is like adding just a pinch of spice

My Reverie
Our love
Is a dream, but in my reverie
I can see that this love was meant for me
Only a poor fool
Never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance could be so cruel
As you are to me
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without you life will never begin to be
So love me
As I love you in my reverie
Make my dream a reality
Lets dispense with formality
Come to me in my reverie

I'd Rather
If it takes never talking
Never walking
With you again
To keep us friends
I'd rather do that
If it means you never coming back
To never see you react
I'd rather do that
If it takes to love and not hate
Or to never see you as a mistake
I'd rather do that
If it takes me feeling
Like I am destoryed
Or me feeling like
You take me as a play toy
I'd rather do that
If it takes to never receive a phone call
Or to never hear you voice ever
I'd rather do that
If it takes my memories
Of us hurting each other
I'd rather do that
If it takes me thinking
Of our love as make believe
Whatever it takes to succeed
You are no longer what
I need
Things wasn't all bad
And I want to hold on
To that
So I don't want you back
So if that what it takes
To hold on to some good
Than I rather do that
