ONE AND ONE MAKES TWO
(Jerry Moss)

Johnny Cash - 1975



Oh, the number one is not my favourite number
'Cause one means only me and there's no you
But one plus one you see makes two, that's you and me
And it's more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes, one and one make two 
At least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes, it's true, one and one make two

Now, let me show you what I mean...

Now, you say you want to play upon a see-saw
You're all alone and you don't know what to do
Well just go and find a friend and sit him on the other end
You'll have more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes, one and one make two 
At least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes, it's true, one and one make two

Now, you say you want to play a game of baseball
And you look around and there's no one but you
Well just find someone you know and he will catch the ball you throw
You'll have more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes, one and one make two 
At least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes, it's true, one and one make two

Now, there's the best reason of all that I like to number two right here...

Now, everyone needs somebody to share with
To love and help and care for through and through
And there's no one that I've known who can share or love alone
It's a lot nicer when one and one makes two
Oh yes, one and one make two 
At least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes, it's true, one and one make two
I said it's true, one and one make two
One, one
