Baby, my baby you accuse me of flirting and hurting you no end

You say baby I'm a cheater

You oughta know that cheaters never win

Because it takes one to know one who will hurt you

It takes one to know one who'll make you blue

It takes one to know one like I know you

You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand



Baby, my baby don't blame me for playing and saying things unkind

you think baby I'm a loser

but I could win if you were close behind me

Because it takes one to know one who will love you

It takes one to know one who will cry for you

It takes one to know one like I know you

You're my kind hold my hand, use your mind understand



Baby, baby we're birds of a feather, baby, baby we'll live together

baby I'm yours you are mine

And it takes one to know one, it takes one to know one

yes it takes one to know one every time
