Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, well
Mmh
Ohh, oh, ooh
Mmh, mmh, mmh
Ohh
Ooh, mh

Can't understand
Why we treat each other in this way
Taking up time
With the silly, silly games we play
We've got our love
And no matter how it's said or done
Ohh

We are one
No matter what we do we are one
Our love will see us through we are one
And that's the way it is we are one
Ohh

Sometimes I feel
That we try and make each other sad, I don't know why
The things we do
How we make each other feel so bad
We've got so much
We could all be having so much fun
Ohh

We are one
Right from the very start we are one
Deep down in your heart we are one
And that's the way it is (we are one)
Ohh, whoa, ohh, yeah

Ooh, uh-huh

I can't understand
Why we treat each other in this way, uh-huh
Taking up time
With the silly, silly games we play, play
We've got our love, our love
And no matter how it's said or done
Ohh

We are one (ahh)
We are one
Our love will see us through we are one
And that's the way it is (we are one), yeah, ohh

We are one
Right from the very start we are one
Deep down in your heart we are one, ooh
And that's the way it is (we are one)
Yeah

We are one
We are one (I know)
(We) we are one
We are one
We are one (oh my)
We are one (you can't get away)
(We) we are one
We are one (that's the way, that's the way it is)
We are one
We are one
We are one
We (ohh) are one
(Ohh)
We are one (no)
(I know)
We are one (I know, I know, I know)




(I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
We are one
