YOU'RE NOT THE ONE

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that walks beside me and holds my hand.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that says I’m your man.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that fixes my meals.

YOU’RE THE ONE that shows me how good I can feel.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that’s going to love me till the end.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that’s going to ask me where I’ve been.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that wants to move in.

YOU’RE THE ONE that makes me want to sin.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that says that she loves me.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that’s going to set my soul free.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that’s going to walk with me in the park.

YOU’RE THE ONE that waits for me in the dark.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that wants to sit under a tree.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that everyone can see.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that wants to have my child.

YOU’RE THE ONE that always drives me wild.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that will promise to be true.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that will ever make me blue.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that always wants to share.

YOU’RE THE ONE that wants me to touch you there.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that wants to love me forever.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE where I have to be smart and clever.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that always has to be right.

YOU’RE THE ONE that’s there for me at night.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that wants for better or worse.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that will ride in my hearse.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that always has to be first.

YOU’RE THE ONE that makes me feel like I’m going to burst.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE whose heart I will steal.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that always has to have things real.

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE that keeps me on the run.

But I know, whenever I need a friend YOU’RE THE ONE.
