Lyrics:

What do I have to do?
I've been down and out
Doing without
The love that got me through
And what 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, yeah
And 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 thinking about
Dreaming about
The things we used to do
And what do I have to say?
I just wanted to know
That you know, yeah

It takes a village
To raise a child
It takes an army
To march a mile
Yeah, yeah
And it takes true love
To stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe
To make me smile

And I know I would
Cross the ocean if I could
If it would bring
You back to me, yeah
And I would steal a
Feather from an angels wing
Don't you know it's true
That I do it all to prove
My love for you

-Solo-

It takes a village
To raise a child
It takes an army
To march a mile
Yeah, yeah
And 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 them out
And it takes true love
To stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe
To make me smile
It takes you
To make me smile
