Michael and his dad sitting at a table in the corner
Reading the want ads sprawled across the table in the corner

And there is no time to play all the signs seem to say
It takes much more than love, it takes much more than love

Michael and his dad live in an apartment in the basement
Sitting by the rad in this cold and damp apartment in the basement

Where the sun does not come through and all the bills are overdue
It takes much more than love, it takes much more than love
When making do

Mother's gone away to the land of safe keeping
Michael walking from the grave, says, "Dad, she's only sleeping"

Michael and his dad sitting on a bench beside the playground
They take each other's hand and head towards the sandbox in the playground

And there a castle's made for two, the sun is high, the sky is blue
It takes much more than love, it takes much more than love
It takes two
It takes much more than love, it takes much more than love
It takes two

Michael and his dad, Michael and his dad, Michael and his dad
