The Only One
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm kissing you like a butterfly
In my dreams while you sleep every single night
We are as broken as two people could ever be
But I am here for you and you're here for me
You are the only one, you are my number one
And I want to keep you for life
The February sun when things are said and done
It is just you and me for life
You are the only one
You're the only one I need
I carry you and your heavy chains
Throw away all your fear
Let me take your pain
We are as broken as two people could ever be
But I am good for you, you're so good for me
You are the only one, you are my number one
And I want to keep you for life
The February sun, when things are said and done
It's just you and me for life
You are the only one
You're the only one I need
You are the only one
You are the only one for me
Ready to run for our lives
Ready for anything at all
Together we're going to make it
We can make it
You are the only one, you are my number one
And I want to keep you for life
The February sun, when things are said and done
It's just you and me for life
You are the only one
You are my number one
And I want to keep you for life
The February sun, when things are said and done
It's just you and me for life
You are the only one
You are the only one for me
You are the only one




You are the only one I need
I'm kissing you like a butterfly
