One can have a dream, baby.
Two can make a dream so real.
One can talk about being in love.
Two can see how it really feels.

One can wish upon a star.
Two can make a wish come true, yeah.
One can stand alone in the dark.
Two can make a light shine through.

It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.

One can have a broken heart
living in misery.
Two can really ease the pain
like a perfect remedy.
One can be alone in a bar,
like an island he's all alone.
Two can make just any place
seem just like bein' at home.

It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
Yeah.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two. Ha!

One can go out to a movie
looking for a special treat.
Two can make that single movie
something really kind of sweet.
And one can take a walk in the moonlight
thinking that's it's really nice.
But two lovers walking hand in hand
is like adding just a pinch of spice.

It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two. Ha!
It takes two, baby, yeah yeah,
Me and you, just me and you.
It takes two, baby.
