You're The Only One Lyrics
Eric Benét
Lyrics
You're the Only one
Im goin back to the day we started
and all the ways you were broken hearted
I take a trip every day in my mind
I see your face I recall every word
its playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye.
If I knew what I know Id walk back in time
Ooo I would right every wrong Id change every line
Then you'be here right now just like yesterday
But you'd feel no more doubt when you hear me say
You're the Only One I want
You're the only one I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one I need in my life
I see the world thru a haze of memories
And other girls don't mean a damn thing to me
Its kinda sad how they just don't compare
Time will tell lets wait and see
If the love we had was meant to be
Cause I know we've got a future out there
Cause you're still my girl I don't care what they say
Lets go back to our baby don't you throw this love away
Cause I still believe in the magic of us
Its just a matter of time and it's a matter of trust
You're the Only One I want
You're the only one I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one I need in my life
Now girl it took some time to get real with myself
Now love aint easy sometimes
but when you find it you stay together
You're the Only One I want
You're the only one I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one I need in my life
(chorus out)
