It's You
Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't look a-like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
You got what it takes for me
And you don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
You got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me, ooo-wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me,
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
You don't live in a beautiful place
Oh, you don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes, to satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh yeah
You got what it takes for me
Now when you're near me, mmm-mmm
My head goes around and around and around and around
And when you kiss me, a-little girl
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me
You don't live in a beautiful place, no
You don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you got what it takes
Baby, I'm tellin' you
You got what it takes
Hey! hey! hey!
The lyrics to Voice's song It's You are about how looks and money are not as important as having the qualities that make a person fulfilling and satisfying to be with. The singer is describing their partner as not having the traditional physical attributes that society values or the wealth that could get them far in life, but they have something much more valuable - the ability to bring satisfaction, joy and passion into the singer's life. The song emphasizes that true love is not based on superficial things like money and looks, but on the feeling of connection and fulfillment that comes from being with someone who has the qualities you desire.
In the chorus, the singer repeats that their partner has what it takes to satisfy them and set their soul on fire. This implies that the partner has a special quality that fulfills the singer's emotional and physical needs. The chorus and bridge emphasize the transformative power that this feeling has on the singer. When the partner is near or kisses the singer, their head goes around and their love comes tumbling down. This points to the vulnerability and emotional impact that love can have, despite the partner not fitting conventional beauty standards or wealth. The song ultimately argues that true love can exist in many forms and that love based on inner qualities is more powerful than love based on external appearances.
