One Thing
Pepper Coyote Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get the sense
You don′t need me around
But could you please, please tell me
What is going wrong

My jaw could stretch
All the way to the ground
To see exactly what it is

That you are sitting on

Such beautiful curves
The ridges and studs
Eye-widening features all the same
Something inside me can't help but ponder
Darling does it have a name?

There was suspense
But now I′m feeling unwound
And now there's only one thing
One thing I feel like getting on

Oh such beautiful curves
The ridges and studs
Eye-widening features all the same
Something inside me can't help but ponder
Darling does it have a name?

There was suspense
But now I′m feeling unwound

And now there′s only one thing
One thing I feel like getting on
