Lyrics

[Chorus]
Takes two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango, do the tango
Do the dance of love
[Verse 1]
You can sail on a ship by yourself
Take a nap or a nip by yourself
You can get into debt on your own
There are lots of things that you can do alone
[Chorus]
But it takes two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango, do the tango
Do the dance of love
[Instrumental]
I mean to tell you it takes two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango, do the tango
Do the dance of love
[Verse 2]
You can croon to the moon by yourself
You can laugh like a loon by yourself
Spend the lot, go to pot on your own
There are lots of things that you can do alone
[Chorus]
But it takes two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango, do the tango
Do the dance of—, one more time
It takes two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango, do the tango
Do the dance of love
[Outro]
It takes two, takes two
Darling, it always takes two
And I'm with you
Written by: Al Hoffman, Dick Manning
