IT TAKES TWO

Original Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston version



Kim Weston:One can have a dream, baby
Marvin Gaye:Two can make that dream so real
Kim Weston:One can talk about being in love
Marvin Gaye:Two can say how it really feels
Kim Weston:One can wish upon a star
Marvin Gaye:Two can make that wish come true, yeah
Kim Weston:One can stand alone in the dark
Marvin Gaye:Two can make the light shine through

Weston and Gaye:It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it just take two
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, it just take two

Kim Weston:One can have a broken heart, living in misery
Marvin Gaye:Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
Kim Weston:One can be alone in the far, like an island he's all alone
Marvin Gaye:Two can make just any place seem just like being home

Weston and Gaye:It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it just take two
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, it just take two

Weston and Gaye:Hoo hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
It just take two, it just take two

Kim Weston:Ooh, one can go out to a movie, looking for a special treat
Marvin Gaye:Two can make that single movie something really kind of sweet
Kim Weston:Yeah, one can take a walk in the moonlight, thinking that it's really nice
Marvin Gaye:A-but two walking a-hand in hand is like adding just a pinch of spice

Weston and Gaye:Yeah, it takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
Me and you, it just take two
It takes two, baby, it takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, it just take two
