It Takes Two Songtext
von Mandy Patinkin

It takes two

I thought one was enough
It′s not true

It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough
It took you

It took two of us
It takes care
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change
Though you swear
To change
Who can tell if you do?

It takes two


You've changed
You′re thriving
There's something about the woods
Not just surviving
You're blossoming in the woods
At home I′d fear
We′d stay the same forever
But then out here
You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever

It takes one

To begin
But then once you′ve begun
It takes two of you
It's no fun
But what needs to be done
You can do

When there are two of you
If I dare
It′s because I'm becoming aware
Of us
As a pair
Of us
Each accepting a share


Of what′s there
We've changed
We're strangers
I′m meeting you in the woods
Who minds
What dangers?
I know we′ll get past the woods

And once we're past
Let′s hope the changes last

Beyond woods
Beyond witches in slippers and hoods
Just the two of us
Beyond lies
Safe at home with our beautiful prize
Just the few of us
It takes trust
It takes just a bit more and we're done

We want four
We had none
We′ve got three

We need one
It takes two
