Song Lyrics

[Chorus]
Who's got
What it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up

Who's got
What it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow

Everyone talks about what
They think they need
They make up a list of
Things: 1, 2, 3,
Everyone is different, but
Where we can agree
Is every girl wants her boy
To treat her sweet

Don't think that being mean
Will get you anywhere
Don't think acting cool will
Make me want to care
I just need your respect
If you're gonna be the one

[Chorus]

Talk can be so cheap
So I just look for actions
Be good to me
If you want my attraction

Maybe I just want too much
But I don't really care
I know I'm worth it
& I know he's out there

Wait wait
You might be a contender
Hey hey
Can I borrow your sweatshirt

Normally I'm not the one to say
Hello first but if I didn't I might
Miss out and that might hurt

[Chorus]

I've been contemplating
What it takes to make me
Give my heart could you be
The one standing in the crowd
I'm waiting to find out
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Oh!

[Chorus: x2]
