What does it take

What does it take to get a girl like you
Tell me the things that I must do
How to reach your heart is something I wish I knew
Like a cupid's arrow touch your heart through and through

Must I dress to impress
To always look my best?
My inner feelings must I openly express
An intellect must I be to pass your test

Must I always look tidy and neat?
Will that sweep you off your feet?
Must I be a gentleman courteous and polite
Tell you how beautiful you are day and night

Must I spark up a nice conversation
To get acquainted but without any flirtation
Must I be fluent in the way that I speak
Will sweet words make your knees grow weak?

Must I find the right words to say?
Perhaps if I bid you the time of the day
Or maybe just a simple hello will do
Or will it take more than that to get to you?

Must I live in a fancy house and drive a fancy car
Would you give me a second look if I were a superstar
Would flowers and candy do the trick
surprising you on your birthday make you tick

What does it take to get a girl like you?
Lord knows I've tried but just can't get through
There's got to be a way to get to your heart
I'd do anything if I knew where to start
