Baby, break it down, baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down, baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go

You're standing on your side
I'm standing on mine
It only needs one step
And we can be crossing the line

There's nothing between us
Or maybe too much
Whatever it is
It's too fragile too touch

Baby, break it down, baby, break it down
We've got a long way to go
And baby, break it down, wrap your love around
Baby, we've got a long way to go

And who jumps the fences?
And who builds the walls?
Whoever takes chances
Must surely fall

Baby, break it down, baby, break it down
Baby, we've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down, we'll be safe and sound
We've got a long way to go

Baby, too far... someone, someone   (too far to go)
Yeah, it's too far, too far, yeah   (too far to go)

There's no river running - yes    (whoo-ooh-ooh)
That we can't cross    (whoo-ooh-ooh)
Does one or the other of us
Have to be the boss?

Yes, I'll tell you

Baby, break it down, baby, break it down
Baby, we've got a long way to go
Baby, break it down, wrap your love around
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah...   (We've got a long way to go)  Come on

 Baby, break it down, wrap your love around
Baby, we've got a long way to go, yeah
And baby, break it down, baby, baby, break it down
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...   (We've got a long way to go)  Come on

We've got a long, long way to go
Mm, we've got a long way to go

(Long, long way) Mmm, yeah
(Too far to go)  Mm-mm-mm-mm...
(Long, long way) Yeah....ahh
(Too far to go) Mm, mm... it's too far to go

 (Long, long way) Long, long, long, long way
(Too far to go) Hey baby
