The original recording of “It Takes Two” hit the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well...
[Verse 1: Kim Weston & Marvin Gaye]
One can have a dream, baby
Two can make that dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can say how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make that wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you
Just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true
Just takes two
[Verse 2: Kim Weston & Marvin Gaye]
One can have a broken heart, living in misery
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a crowd, like an island, he's all alone
Two can make just-a any place seem just like being at home
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you
Just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true
Just takes two
[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Just takes two
Just takes two
[Verse 3: Kim Weston & Marvin Gaye]
Ooh, one can go out to a movie, looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie something really kinda sweet
Yeah, one can take a walk in the moonlight, thinking that it's really nice
Ah, but two walking hand-in-hand is like adding just a pinch of spice
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Yeah, it takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two
