Lyrics

[Intro]
It takes two (Doo-wop)
[Verse 1]
They say it's a man's world, well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world without a woman by his side?
And so I will wait until that moment you decide
[Chorus]
That I'm your man and you're my girl
That I'm the sea and you're the pearl
It takes two, baby (It takes two)
It takes two (Doo-wop)
[Verse 2]
A king ain't a king without the power behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe, without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me, I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me
[Chorus]
I'm your king, and you're my queen
That no one else can come between
It takes two, baby (It takes two)
It takes two
[Bridge]
Don't you know
[Bridge]
Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old Saint Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick
They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away
[Verse 3]
Just like Frankie Avalon had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe, to say the things I long to hear
So come closer, baby, oh, and whisper in my ear
[Verse 4]
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Tell me
[Chorus]
You're my girl, and I'm your boy (I'm your girl, you're my boy)
That you're my pride and I'm your joy (I'm your pride, you're my joy)
I'm the sand, and you're the tide (I'm the sand, you're the tide)
I'll be the groom if you'll be my bride (Be the groom, I'll be your bride)
It takes two, baby (It takes two)
It takes two (It takes two)
[Outro]
It takes two, baby
[Outro]
It takes
[Outro]
Two
