Lyrics

Misty: One can have a dream, baby,
Ash: Two can make that dream come true.
Misty: One can talk about winning,
Ash: Two can help you battle through.

Misty: One Pokémon can take you halfway,
Ash: Two can help you win the game, yeah.
Misty: One will surely help you avoid disaster,
Ash: Two will bring you Pokémon fame.

Both: It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
Me and you.
Just takes two.

It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
To make a dream come true.
Just takes two.

Misty: One can easily be over when sibling[s] all top the feat,
Ash: Two can work together, baby, definitely can't be beat.
Misty: One can try [to be] only one but often times must succumb,
Ash: Two can look the challenge in the eye and together they can overcome.

Both: It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
Me and you.
Just takes two.

It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
To make a dream come true.
Just takes two.

[instrumental]

Just takes two.
Just takes two.

Misty: One can play Pokémon Ruby and have fun along the way,
Ash: Two can link up together and battle anywhere all day.
Misty: One can get better at Pokémon Sapphire practicing to be number one,
Ash: But two that play a lot together will surely have twice the fun.

Both: It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
Me and you.
Just takes two.

It takes two, baby,
It takes two, baby,
To make a dream come true.
Just takes two.
