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 the mile, yeah
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe to make me smile, oh

And I would walk across the ocean if I could
If it will bring you back to me, yeah
And I would steal a feather from an angels 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 the mile, yeah
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you babe, oh to make me

It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march that mile
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
