What's Easy for Two Is So Hard for One
Love's Dance: A Duet Beneath Moonlight
Lyrics
Well well well well
Expressing excitement or emphasis.
Let's get together and go for a walk in the park
Suggesting a joint activity, going for a walk in the park.
And while we're walking we can steal a little kiss in the dark
Suggesting intimacy, stealing a kiss while walking in the dark.
I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you)
Expressing a desire to walk together.
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
Expressing a desire to talk together.
But it's up you to say "Come on baby"
Leaving the initiative to the partner to invite.
If you don't hurry up I'll go crazy
Implying impatience or eagerness for a positive response.
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun
Emphasizing that walking alone in the park is not enjoyable.
CHORUS:
Chorus introduction.
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Expressing that activities done by two are challenging for one.
Is so hard to be done by one
Reiteration of the difficulty of doing things alone.
I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my heart
Declaring deep love for the partner.
But a love that's true really takes two to start
Stating that true love requires mutual effort.
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
Expressing a willingness to contribute.
To show you that I care (to show you that I care)
Affirming a desire to show care for the partner.
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
Rejecting one-sided love as insufficient.
You gotta show me that you love me too
Highlighting the need for reciprocal love.
'Cause falling in love all alone is just no fun
Emphasizing that falling in love alone is not enjoyable.
(chorus)
Chorus repetition.
One can build a love affair slowly
Comparing the pace of building a love affair for one and two.
Two can build a love affair fast
Suggesting that a love affair develops faster with two people.
One can make a love get started
Indicating that one person can initiate love.
Two can make it last
Claiming that love endures with the efforts of two.
(instrumental)
Instrumental break, no specific meaning provided.
So come on and take me by the hand
Inviting the partner to take a decisive step.
Lead me up to the preacher man
Suggesting a commitment or marriage ceremony.
Together we can do all the things that should be done
Expressing the potential for joint accomplishment.
(repeat chorus and fade
Chorus repetition and fading.
