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 the mile
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
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 themile
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 wings
Don't you know it's true that I'd do it all
To prove my love for you

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