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
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
