Only One
Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lyrics

I don't know why you cry
The reason behind your tears is a mystery to me

You must have a windswept eye
Your tearful eye seems to have been affected by the wind

They're the same old tears
These tears are not new

You've worn for years
You have been shedding these same tears for years

So they suit you better than I
Your tears seem to be serving you better than I can

The tears are a strange device
Your tears seem to have a peculiar purpose

They roll like dice
Your tears seem to be unpredictable, just like rolling dice

They're cold like ice
Your tears feel cold, just like ice

And they suit you better than I
Your tears seem to be serving you better than I can

You don't want me
You don't desire my company

But you need me
Despite not wanting me, you seem to require my presence

You don't have to
You are under no obligation

But you should do
However, it would be beneficial if you did

'Cause I may be the only one
I might be the sole person

(In the world)
In the entire world

Oh I may be the only one
It's possible I am the only one

(In the land)
In the vicinity

Yeah I may be the only one
I could be the only one

(Who understands you, yeah)
(Who comprehends your feelings)

So if you're feeling lonesome today
If you are experiencing loneliness today

Honey, don't you dare to push me away
Do not dare to reject my presence, dear

'Cause I may be the only one
I might be the sole person

(in the land)
In the vicinity

Yeah I may be the only one
I could be the only one

Who understands you, yeah
Who comprehends your feelings

I'll take you for a ride
Let me take you on a journey

To see you from inside
To understand your inner self

The outlook's bleak
The future appears grim

But when I speak
However, when I communicate

I'll see a change in your tide
I will notice a shift in your emotions

But honey make it mine
But my dear, hand over those tears to me

'Cause up my sleeve, I do believe
Because I am convinced, I have a trick

I'll change those tears into wine
I will turn your sadness into joy

You can't see wood for all the trees
You are unable to see the bigger picture

For you I'm good, permission, please
I am good for you, seeking your approval

To be your girl, to hold you tight
To be your significant other, to embrace you closely

To rock your world, you know I'm right
To make a difference in your life, you know I am correct

So come on baby, you better make a move
So my dear, you better take some action

I won't wait forever, what have you got to lose?
I cannot keep waiting indefinitely, what is there for you to lose?
