It Takes Two
Tina Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about living love
Two can see how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make a 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
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart
Living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
That's a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar
Like an island here all alone
Two can make just any place
Seem just like being at home

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can go out to the movies
Looking for a special treat
Two can make that scene in the movies
Something really kind of neat
One can take a walk in the moonlight
Thinking that 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

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

it takes two baby
yeah
just me and you
it takes two o o o o
i know it me and you
it takes two baby
it takes two
just me and you




just me and you
just me and you

Păcat că persoana care cântă împreună cu el are nevoie de voce. Tina era excepţională şi de neînlocuit. ❤
