What do I have to do?
I've been down and out, doing without
The love that got me through
And what do I have to say?
I just want you to know
That I know

It takes a village to raise the town
It takes an army to march the mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe to make me smile

What do I have to do?
I've been thinking about, dreaming about
The things we used to do
And what do I have to say?
I just wanted to know
That you know

It takes a village to raise the town
It takes an army to march the mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe to make me smile

And know that I would cross the ocean if i could
If it would bring you back to me
And I would steal a feather from an angel's wing
Don't you know its true that I'd do it all to prove my love for you

SOLO

It takes a village to raise the town
It takes an army to march the mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe to, law, to make me

It takes a village to raise the town
It takes an army to march the mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe to make me smile

It takes you to make me smile
