The One Lyrics

She dances
And I can barely keep my seat
If I wait it's too late...
Then I rise

And it's begun
Simple as that matter of fact
It isn't really up to you and me
And if you're the one
I could think it again I could also pretend
I wouldn't bet yet but I definitely have to see

A traffic full of people all going home
But in the Jetta next to me
She's on some balcony in Rome
And that guy in the blue Datsun looking angry
Well he's never been anywhere
As for me I'm happy being right here
As long as you're there

And it's begun
Simple as that matter of fact
It isn't really up to you and me
And if you're the one
I could think it again I could also pretend
I wouldn't bet yet but I definitely have to see

If you're the one
Then it's begun
If you're the one
Then it's begun

If you're the one
Simple as that matter of fact
It isn't really up to you and me
And if you're the one
I could think it again I could also pretend
I wouldn't bet yet but I definitely have to see
And if you're the one
I could think it again I could also pretend
I wouldn't bet yet but I definitely have to see

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
