The One Lyrics

So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on Friday nights
To take me dancing again
To church on Sundays
To plant more trees
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just save a little money

[Chorus:]
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun

In the world full of strangers
You're the one I know

So I learned to cook and finally lose
My kitchen phobia
And so I got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
To write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone

[Chorus 2X]

You're the one I need
You're the one I need

With you my real life has just begun

You're the one I need
You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love

Ahh!!!

it's not "When there's a ghost or a news" it's "When there's a ghost or a muse"

plus, that "??" bit, it's "With you my real life has just begun"

Also:

"So I count on someone on Friday nights To take me dancing again" is "So I count on someone Friday nights to take me dancing and then"

Lyric Correction: "To plant more trees" should be "To plant more dreams". Make sense? :)

The chorus and the music are definetely beautiful. I think this love song is definetely shadowed by Underneath Your Clothes, although that song kicks a$$ too.
