One Love
T-Bone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a bad habit
Of thinking of things I shouldn't think about
It doesn't do me any good
Thinking of things I shouldn't think about
This morning I woke up
With a heavy heart
And with you on my mind
It took me a few minutes
Looking around my room
To remember where I am
It's not fair that our dreams call out
To the ones we know it shouldn't
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
I've got a bad habit
Of thinking of things I shouldn't think about
It doesn't do me any good
Thinking of things I shouldn't think about
This morning I woke up
With a heavy heart
And with you on my mind
It took me a few minutes
Looking around my room
To remember where I am
It's not fair that our dreams call out
To the ones we know it shouldn't
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
When ever I hear
That song we used to like
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off
But my body won't move
I feel it in my gut
I'd like to turn it off




But my body just won't move
It just won't move
