It Takes Two
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One can have a dream, baby
Two can make that dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can say how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make that wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, just take two
One can have a broken heart, living in misery
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy, now
One can be alone in the far, like an island he's all alone
Two can make just a any place seem just like a being home
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it take two
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it take two
One can go out to a movie, looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie, something really kinda sweet
One can take a walk in the moonlight, thinking that it's really nice
A but two walking a hand in hand is like adding just a pinch of spice
Oh, it takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it takes two
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, oh, it takes two
It takes two, baby, yeah, it takes two, baby, yeah
It takes two, baby, yeah, it takes two, baby, yeah
It takes two, baby, yeah, oh, me and you, baby, yeah
Me and you, baby, yeah
It takes two, baby, yeah...
