I'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES



I've got what it takes, and it breaks my heart that blind men can't see
It's in demand and it's something that's commanding a fee
I've been saving it up for a mighty long time
To miss your sweet way would be more than a crime
I'll take your hand, You feel my nibs
And all of your small change shall I get

If you can look in my bankbook, I'll never let you feel my purse
Daddy, take your hands away, I believe in blindmen first
Now you want my honey and it's my plan
To save it all for a real blind man
I've got what it takes and it breaks my heart that blindmen can't see
