It takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you. Ain't no place I'd rather be, Nothing means that much to me. Ain't no place I haven't been, A trip to nowhere and back again. Suddenly, there was a young girl. She reached right out and took my mind. She said, "If you want to get love, you've got to give some." Yeah, it takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you. Oh, yes I do. Without love, a man's a stone, Cold and grey, stand alone; Two can make it twice as strong. Listen, you want to get love, you've got to give some. It takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you. Oh, yeah. It takes a loved one. repeat until fade out
