Am I The Only One? Lyrics

Am I the only one who gets to make you laugh,
Laugh until you cry?
Am I the only one who asks you to go,
Go on without me?
Am I the only one who loves when you leave
your hair down in front of your eyes?

(chorus)
And who, who do you think I am?
And who, who do you think I'll be without you?

Am I the only one who had to dress you up
To see how you fell down?
Am I the only one who needs you to go,
Go on about me?
Am I the only one who loves when you leave
your hair down in front of your eyes?

(chorus)

I see that nobody mentioned more than that this song was to Ed's brother. It was originally about his future wife (they married June 1994), but when his brother died in a motorcycle accident, he changed the meaning. Also, one might think that the song is a solo song until the part where Jim comes in with the violin (?).

i can see that you might think its a solo song but if you listen closely, Jim is playing his bass throughout, and there is a faint shaker in the background. also the chorus includes backing vocals. nevertheless, this song is great if you need to set the mood at an open mic night or any acoustic venue.

sarahmansour, i meant that it seemed like a song, that was...well. as if someone was worried that their significant other was unfaithful. but when AgntJello said it was to his brother, i see it different. and wrion, i cried too.
