It Takes Two

[BAKER’S WIFE] You've changed You're daring You're different in the woods More sure More sharing You're getting us through the woods If you could see— You're not the man who started And much more open-hearted Than I knew You to be [BAKER] It takes two I thought one was enough It's not true: It takes two of us You came through When the journey was rough It took you It took two of us It takes care It takes patience and fear and despair To change Though you swear To change Who can tell if you do? It takes two [BAKER’S WIFE] You've changed You're thriving There's something about the woods Not just Surviving You're blossoming in the woods At home I'd fear We'd stay the same forever And then out here You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever— [BAKER] It takes one To begin, but then once You've begun It takes two of you It's no fun But what needs to be done You can do When there's two of you If I dare It's because I'm becoming Aware of us As a pair of us Each accepting a share Of what's there [BOTH] We've changed We're strangers I'm meeting you in the woods Who minds What dangers? I know we'll get past the woods And once we're past Let's hope the changes last Beyond woods Beyond witches and slippers and hoods Just the two of us— Beyond lies Safe at home with our beautiful prize Just a few of us It takes trust It takes just A bit more And we're done We want four We had none We've got three We need one It takes two
