Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear 'em tell you lies
That same old song they sing
They only want one thing
I know you're searching for
Something that's so much more
I want to give it to ya
I want to be the one
The one who makes you feel something real
The one and only one
The one who gets down deep, plays for keeps
I want to be the one
The one who talks it through, listens to you
Please, let me be the one
The one who truly knows you; just let me show you
I want to make you see
The possibility
Of all that we could be
For all eternity
And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I want to be the one
Girl, you don't know me well
But someday time will tell
These dreams I promise you
You'll see them all come true
I'm talking band of gold
I'm talking soul to soul
And I ain't just talking, baby, oh
[Chorus]
And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I want to be the one
I want to be the one
Oh, let me be the one
