What do I have to do
I've been down and out doin' without the love that got me through
What do I have to say
I just want you to know that I know
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile, Yeah
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 thinkin' about dreamin' 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 child
It takes an army to march a mile, Yeah
It takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe, to make me smile
I would walk across the ocean if I could
If it would bring you back to me
I would steal a feather from an angel's wing
Don't you know it's true that I'd do it all to prove my love to you
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile, Yeah
It takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe, to make me
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile, Yeah
It takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe, to make me smile
And it takes you to make me smile
