"She's Got What It Takes" lyrics - THE TRAGICALLY HIP

They thought you lived in a small town
They laid you down in the same ground
You probably put on the pounds
And then you babied them off
She spends her paycheque to be a chore
But leaves are coming in the front door
You only fooling your fall
I'll be laughing all night

You sit back staring at the television
Dreaming dreams till your body aches
You got all the brains
She's got what it takes

Made the ball in a black tie
Well I was mad at the wrong guy
Who left you leaning outside
Oh you're making no sound
Still choking to be chose
I was raised with the same clothes
I buy indo like you
When your parents don't know

You sit back staring at the television
Dreaming dreams till your body aches
You got all the brains
And you don't even know
And your body breaks
All the distance around
And she's got what it takes

If she'd just give me a sound
You left me with your mother
But looked around for another
It's just like edison said
"You never know what you'll find"

You sit back staring at the television
Dreaming dreams till your body aches
You got all the brains

She's got what it takes
She's got what it takes
She's got what it takes

Well I can't hear if things are enough
Saying something that running away
Baby I'm a runaway I got to go
It's not my fault it's just something I'm responsible for
It's not you
She's got what it takes
