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 gray, 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
It takes a loved one
It takes a loved one
