You Lyrics by Black Stone Cherry

Folklore and Superstition

2008

[Verse 1]
What do I have to do?
I've been down and out
Doing without the love that got me through
And what I have to say?
I just want you to know
That I know

[Refrain]
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe, to make me smile

[Verse 2]
What do I have to do?
I've been thinking about, dreaming about, the things we used to do
And what do I have to say?
I just wanted to know that you know, yeah

[Refrain]
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe, to make me smile

[Bridge]
And I know I'd cross the ocean if I could
If it would bring you back to me, yeah
And I would steal a feather from an angel's wing
Don't you know it's true
That I do it all to prove
My love for you

[Solo]

[Refrain]
It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile
Yeah, yeah
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe, to make me

It takes a village to raise a child
It takes an army to march a mile
And it takes true love to stand the test of time
And it takes you, babe, to make me smile
It takes you to make me smile
