You Are The One
A-Ha · Stay On These Roads
Guess you knew from the start
I call again, but there's no one in
Don't know where, with whom you've been
But I do
Love you
Anyway you want me too
You are the one...now the state I'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win!?
You don't even care, you don't care
Where I've been
But I do
Love you
Anyway you want me too
I've done all I can do
All the letters I've sent through
Put my life in the palms of your hand
Maybe now you can see
That it's got to be me
But if you leave me
I'll understand, yeah
If you leave me, I'll understand
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there's no one in
Catching you is so hard
You are the one!
