Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One can have a dream, baby
Two can make that dream so real
One can talk about bein' in love
Two can say how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make that wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through
[Chorus]
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you
Just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true
Just takes two
[Verse 2]
One can have a broken heart
Livin' in misery
Two can really ease the pain
Like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a crowd
Like an island, he's all alone
Two can make just any place
Seem just like bein' home
[Chorus]
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you
Just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true
Just takes two
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Refrain]
Just takes two
Just takes two
[Verse 3]
Ooh, one can go out to a movie
Lookin' for a special treat
Two can make that single movie
Something really kinda sweet
Yeah, one can take a walk in the moonlight
Thinkin' that it's really nice
But two walkin' hand in hand
Is like addin' just a pinch of spice
[Chorus]
Yeah, it takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you
Just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true
Just takes two
