Interpretation
In the lyrics of the song "It Takes Two" by
Marvin Gaye, it is about how we are stronger together than alone. It shows that it is always better to do things together.
The lyrics say that if you have a dream, you can have it alone. But if you are together, you can make that dream come true. "One can have a dream, baby / Two can make that dream so real." It is also emphasized that you can talk about being in love, but together you can really say how it feels. "One can talk about bein' in love / Two can say how it really feels."
It is also said that if you have a wish and you are alone, you can only wish for it. But together, you can make that wish come true. "One can wish upon a star / Two can make that wish come true, yeah."
The chorus emphasizes again and again that it takes two people to make a dream come true. "It takes two, baby / To make a dream come true, just takes two."
The lyrics also show that if you are hurt and have a broken heart, you can live in misery alone. But together, you can ease the pain. "One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery / Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy."
It is also said that you can sit alone in a car and feel lonely. But together, you can make any place feel like home. "One can be alone in a car, on a night like these all alone / Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home."
The lyrics of the song want to convey that it is always better to do things together and that we are stronger together. It takes two people to make a dream come true.
