The One I Love

Etta Jones · Timeless Etta Jones [2003]

You know the one I love belongs to somebody else

He means his tender songs for somebody else

And even when he has his arms around me

I know his thoughts are strong for somebody else



The hands I hold belong to somebody else

I bet they're not so cold to somebody else

It's tough to be alone on a shelf, worse to fall in love by yourself

When the one you love belongs to somebody else



The man I love belongs to somebody else, somebody else

He means his tender songs for somebody else

And even when he has his arms around me

I know his thoughts are strong for somebody else



The hands I hold belong to somebody else

I bet they're not so cold to somebody else

It's tough to be alone on a shelf, worse to fall in love by yourself

When the one you love belongs to somebody else

When the one you love, when the one you love

When the one you love belongs to somebody else
