Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the only one
When dreams it comes to you
You are the only one
When we're together it feels so true
And it's all in your world
You and I love you girl
I am the only only
Who wants to know you more each day

I am the only only
Who can make you feel this way
And it's all in your world
You and I love you girl
We are the only ones
When dreams it comes to us
Love is the only one
Living in each one of us
And it's all in your world
You, and I love you girl
Love you girl
Love, love, love
Love you girl
Love, love, love
Love you girl

Love, love, love
Love you girl
