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.
