One In A Million
Data Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you're one in a million
I should've left you alone
Sitting outside with your shoes off, waiting
For your girlfriends to come along

Why don't you come along with me
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Sitting outside get your shoes on,
Come on, let's go home and turn on the sound

Another time, see,
There's someone inside,
I don't think they'll be there for long, no
I've been waiting for a girl like you to
Come along

Another time, see,
There's someone inside,
I don't think they'll be there for long, no
I've been waiting for a girl like you to
Come along


? inside ? (come on, get on the floor)
I'll wait for you all my life (been waiting for you)
Take care of you so no matter what he says
I'm taking over

Beat in, take out
Let's operate now
Come home, get down
You're playing my record now
The jukebox is backed up
The band's on the make up

Takin' off but I'll think about your man
Think about if I were at home instead
Takin' off but I'll think about your man
Is he round, is he home, does he cook you breakfast?
Think about if I were home instead
We could be in love with the beat

Baby, you're one in a million
I should've left you alone
Sitting outside with your shoes off, waiting
For your girlfriends to come along

Why don't you come along with me
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Sitting outside get your shoes on,
Come on, let's go home and turn on the sound

Another time, see
There's someone inside,
I don't think they'll be there for long, no
I've been waiting for a girl like you to
Come along

Another time, see
There's someone inside,
I don't think they'll be there for long, no
I've been waiting for a girl like you to
Come along
