The one
Bonnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what's wrong with me
I've been foolish as a fool can be
Baby, I can't sleep at night
And I lost my appetite

Went to the doctor but he don't know
It's getting to where it ain't funny no more
Tell me baby what I might gonna do
I believe I'm in love with you

I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me baby that you love me, too
I can't fight, baby I decided
I'm in love with you

I guess this time I realize
For you baby I got eyes
Come on baby and give me a chance
All I need is your romance

You're the one I've been trying to find
Baby, baby you're just my kind
I'm telling you baby I'll be true
I believe I'm in love with you

I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me baby that you love me, too
I can't fight, baby I decided
I'm in love with you

I guess this time I realize
For you baby I got eyes
Come on baby and give me a chance
All I need is your romance

You know what I'm tryin' to fight
And I'm telling you, you're just my kind
I'm telling you, baby I'll be true
I believe I'm in love with you

I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me baby that you love me, too




I can't fight, baby I decided
I'm in love with you

How? Not saying I believe he's 100% guilty. I think he had sex with the chick, kicked her out, she felt like a piece of meat, and used that to cancel him like he's some monster but.. how was he " set up " you mean like you think it's a conspiracy?
