Song Lyrics

They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by his side
And so I will wait
Until that moment you decide

That I'm your man and you're my girl
That I'm the sea and you're the pearl
It takes two, baby, it takes two

A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone, tell me

I'm your king and you're my queen
That no one else can come between
It takes two, baby, it takes two

Don't you know, Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick

They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away

Just like Frankie Avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe
To say the things I long to hear
So come closer baby
Oh, and whisper in my ear

Tell me, you're my girl and I'm your boy
That you're my pride and I'm your joy
I'm the sand and you're the tide
I'll be the groom if you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby, it takes two
It takes two, baby, it takes two
