The Only One

and wonder who
you are and what's your line
I wonder if
there's someone else
or if it's true that I'm
the only one
in your life
I only worry
for your sake
I don't know much about
the deals you make
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one?
The only one?
(The only one
The only one
The only one)
I don't know you
You don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now
and then you smile
and suddenly I know you care
and I'm the only one
for a while
Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one
(The only one
Only one)
As enigmatic
as you can be
I'm not suspicious
naturally
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one
in your life?
Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one
