It Takes Two
Prince Lyrics

I keep your picture beside my bed
I hold onto the memory of you, keeping your picture close to me as a reminder of our connection.

I still remember everything you said
Your words linger in my mind, capturing the essence of our past conversations.

I always thought our love was so right
I believed in the purity and correctness of our love, but my perception was mistaken.

I guess I was wrong
I now realize that my previous assumption about our love's authenticity was incorrect.

I always thought you'd be by my side
I held the belief that you would always be there, accompanying me throughout life's journey.

Tonight you're gone
In the present moment, you are absent from my life, leaving me feeling lost and alone.

What I want to know baby, what we had was good
I yearn to understand why our past relationship, which I believed was filled with goodness, has faltered.

How come you don't call me anymore, yeah?
I seek answers as to why you no longer reach out to me, leaving our communication severed.

Let me tell ya something, I said
Allow me to share a revelation or insight that has come to my attention.

I still light the fire on a rainy night
Even in moments of gloom and melancholy, I find solace in igniting the flames of passion and desire.

I still like it better when you holding me tight (holding me tight)
The sensation of being enveloped in your embrace brings me immense joy, surpassing any other experience.

(Know why?)
(Want to know the reason behind this feeling?)

Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part
Various individuals expressed their opinion that we should never separate, advising against it.

(That's what they told me)
(Those were the words they conveyed to me)

Tell me mama, why'd you have to go and break my heart?
I implore you, dear, why did you choose to cause anguish and rupture my heart?

(Listen to me)
(Please pay attention to my words)

All I want to know baby, what we had was good
My sole desire is to comprehend if our past connection was truly valuable and significant.

How come you never call me anymore? oh, no, no
I cannot fathom the reason why you have stopped contacting me, and this absence troubles me deeply.

I can't stand it, no, girl
The depth of my discomfort and dissatisfaction with this situation is overwhelming, my dear.

(See)
(Understand the gravity of my emotions)

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
Occasionally, the intensity of my emotions becomes so unbearable that it feels as though I may succumb to this anguish.

If you don't call me, girl, Honey you gotta try
If you are unwilling to reach out to me, my dear, I beseech you to make an effort, to attempt to reestablish our connection.

I'm down on my knees begging you please, please
With humility and vulnerability, I find myself in a position of supplication, imploring you to reconsider and extend your presence back into my life.

Call me girl, sometime, uh huh
At some point in the future, I earnestly desire that you will initiate contact with me, my dear.

All I want to know baby, if it was good before
The only thing I yearn to comprehend, my love, is if the connection we shared in the past was indeed meaningful and fulfilling.

Why don't you you don't call me, don't call me anymore?
I am filled with curiosity and confusion as to why you have ceased reaching out to me, cutting off all forms of communication.

How come you don't call me baby anymore
I am left pondering the reason behind your lack of affectionate communication and endearing verbal expressions, my dear.

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
At times, the overwhelming weight of my emotions becomes so unbearable that it feels as though my very existence may come to an end.

If you don't call me, baby, Honey you gotta try
If you continue to refrain from contacting me, my love, I implore you to muster the effort and attempt to bridge the emotional gap between us.

I'm down on my knees begging you please, please
I find myself in a position of vulnerability, physically and emotionally, beseeching you with utmost sincerity to reconsider and alter our current state.

Just one lousy dime, baby
A mere ten cents, my love, would suffice to initiate communication and reestablish the connection we once had.

Why don't you call me sometime?
I beseech you to reach out to me on occasion, my dear.

Why can't you just pick up the phone, yeah?
I fail to comprehend why you find it challenging to simply answer the phone and engage in conversation with me, my dear.

I can't stand being alone
The solitude and loneliness I experience in your absence have become unbearable, my love.

Why must you torture me?
I grapple with the torment and anguish inflicted upon me, questioning the purpose and motive behind your actions.

Why you treat me like a, why must you treat me like a shit
I struggle to comprehend why you subject me to such mistreatment and disrespect, my dear, treating me in an abhorrent manner.

Kill me, why don't you? Baby
The emotional pain I endure feels as though it has the power to extinguish my very existence. Why don't you end it, my love?

Can't hurt half as much as this
I believe that physical death would not inflict as much suffering upon me as the emotional anguish I currently experience.

I can't stand being alone, no, no, no
The unbearable nature of solitude engulfs me, leaving me unable to tolerate being alone any longer.

I can't stand being alone, no, no, no
The agony of loneliness persists, overwhelming me and rendering it impossible to endure any longer.

Yeah
An exclamation used to emphasize the intensity of the emotions expressed.

Oh why must you
I question the reasons behind your actions, my dear, seeking an understanding of your motives and intentions.

I still keep your picture, keep it by my bed
Regardless of our current circumstances, I continue to hold onto the symbol of our past connection, keeping your picture close to me as a cherished reminder.

I still remember, that little thing you said
Your words, however insignificant they may seem, remain imprinted in my memory, resonating with me even now.

(Let me tell you)
(Allow me to share a significant revelation or insight with you)

All I want to know baby, if what we had was good
My only desire is to ascertain whether the bond we shared in the past was truly meaningful and fulfilling.

How come you don't call me anymore?
I struggle to comprehend why you no longer reach out to me, leaving our communication severed and our connection severed as well.

Why don't you call me
I yearn for your presence, eagerly awaiting your call and the reassurance it brings.

Why don't you call me, yeah
I implore you to initiate contact with me, my dear, and restore the communication that was once present between us.

Just call up to see how I'm doing baby
A simple phone call to inquire about my well-being, my love, is all I ask for.

Sometimes
(At times)
