One I Want Lyrics

Poor man, he just want a little
Rich man, want a little bit more
Superman, he lookin' for Lois
Salesman tryin' to sell ya his soul

Fat man, he's ordering seconds
Pizza man just want a slice
Bad man, looking for attention
A good man, is hard to find

Mail man, looking more like your daughter
Straw man, don't ever let ya stand
Gay man, lookin' for another
Candy man, yeah the candy man can
Black man, he looking for justice
White man, tryin' to get a tan
Woman, just wanna fly in first class
Holy man, take me to the promised land

Everyone's lookin' for somethin'
Wantin' their piece of the pie
Searchin' for their slice of heaven
I gotta have mine, yeah mine
Cause you're the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)

Boogie man, he givin' me the creeps,
Sand man, kickin' mud in your eye
Piano man, in the mood for a melody
Strong man, yeah he knows how to cry

Ape man, ain't no body's uncle
A lucky man don't always know who they are,
Dead man, livin' for tomorrow
Wise man, followin' a star

I ain't saying I'm different
Wanting my pie in the sky
I'm just a little impatient
Until I get mine, yeah mine

Cause you're the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)

((guitar solo))

Yeah!
The one I want
The one I want
The only one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah yeah the one I want, I want, I want (the one I want)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey!
Yeah!

the words may not convey much meaning (as far as I can see) but damn, are they catchy

Yeah, this are just "light" lyrics, nothing too deep but they're all just examples illustrating how everyone always wants something. This guy just wants her
