You want to change the world, you want to change your life,
You want to get to the goodness, you want to see the light,
You want to act like you got some sense,
You'd like you know where your courage went.

What it takes…what it takes is a man and a woman willing,
Are you with me so far?

Come and carry me home - what was I thinking?
I don't like to leave you alone, but, baby, I've been sinking,
I got to fall so far just to make up my mind,
To pick it up, put it down, or leave it behind.

What it takes…what it takes is a man and a woman willing,
Are you willing, baby?
What it takes…what it takes is a man and a woman willing,
Are you willing, baby?

You ought to get on board with me,
Better than it's ever been,
You'd like to know just how good this can be,
All you got to do is say when.

What it takes, yeah, what it takes, babe, is a man and a woman willing,
Are you with me so far?
What it takes, oh, what it takes is a man and a woman willing,
Are you with me?
Are you, baby?
What it takes is a man and a woman willing,
Are you willing?
Are you? Are you?
