Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have given me the best of you
And you have made my dreams come true, yeah
And after all the things that you have done
Girl, it makes me say that you are more than a woman, so I'm
Dedicating this one (Oh) to my favorite girl (She's the only one)
Dedicating this one (Oh, I'm) to my favorite girl
(She's the only woman in the world for me)
Never thought that love could be so kind
Till you came and brought me peace of mind
I'll treasure every moment spent with you
'Cause no one does the things for me you do, so I'm
Dedicating this one (Oh) to my favorite girl (She's the only one)
She's the only woman in the whole wide world (In the whole wide world)
Dedicating this one (Oh, yeah) to my favorite girl
(She's the only woman in the world, world, woo)
So I'm
Dedicating this one (To) to my favorite girl (My favorite girl)
She's the only woman (Oh, yeah) in the whole wide world (In the whole wide world)
Dedicating this one to my favorite girl (She's my favorite girl)
(The only one in the world, whoa)
Dedicating this one (I'm dedicating this one to my favorite girl, yeah) to my favorite girl
She's the only woman (She's the only woman) in the whole wide world
(In the whole wide world for me)
Dedicating this one (I'm dedicating this one) to my favorite girl (To my favorite girl, yeah)
(She's the only one, she's the only one for me)
Dedicating this one to my favorite girl (She's the only one)
She's the only woman
