As recorded by CONNIE HAINES:

Let's get together and go for a walk in the park
While we are walkin', we can steal a little kiss in the dark
I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you)
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
Well, it's up to you to say 'C'mon, baby'
If you don't hurry up, I'll go crazy
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun
Oohhh, what two can easily do, what two can easily do
Is so hard (So hard) to be done (be done) by one
(So hard to be done by one) Oohhh

I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my heart
But a love that's true really takes two to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (To show you that I care)
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
You gotta show me that you love me too
'Cause fallin' in love all alone is just no fun
Oohhh, what two can easily do, oh yeah, what two can easily do
Is so hard (So hard) to be done (be done) by one
(So hard to be done by one) Ooohhhh

One can build a love affair slowly
Two can build a love affair fast
One can make a love affair get started
Two can make it last

(Instrumental Break)

C'mon and take me by the hand
Led me up to that preacher man
Together we can do all the things that should be done
Well, what two can easily do, ooh-ooh, what two can easily do
Is so hard (So hard) to be done (be done) by one
(So hard to be done by one)
Oh, don't you know it takes two
Two-ooh-ooh, it takes two
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it takes two...........FADE
