The One That I've Been Looking For
The Dualers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been all alone for some time
Just hoping that i might find
A little piece of happiness
Someone to call my very own
Search and stop, ' cos there's no need
'Cos she's right in front of me

And i know that i have found
The one that i've been lookin' for

I've got to move, i've got to make her stay
Before she gets stolen away
So i plucked up the courage to walk
And hoped we might be able to talk

It feels so right, i feel so sure
I've never felt like this before

And i know that i have found
The one that i've been lookin' for

I just can't believe
That she'd look at me
No i can't believe
That she's standing next to me

'Cos i can't hide what's inside
It's written all over my face
That i wanna be alone with her
And take her to a better place

It's plain to see, all my relief
That she's walkin' out with me





And i know that i have found
The one that i've been lookin' for
