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

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

It takes a village to raise a town
It takes an army to march a 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 a town
It takes an army to march a 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
