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

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

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 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

It takes true love to stand the test of time

And it takes you babe to make me smile
