The Only One I Know Lyrics
The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me
The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me
Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away
The only one I see, has carved her way in to me
Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain x2






The song's refrain is taken precisely from the Byrd's song "Everybody's been burned": http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858492510/

This is not the correct "The Only One I Know" lyrics

fantastic album some friendly got me through cold turkey in the 90's, couldn't have done it without Sproston green and this tune

Awesome song. This is on their first album in 1990 called Some Friendly. This is a tremendously catchy song and I love the chorus! The singer sounds a lot like Ian Brown from The Stones Roses, though, and incidently their incredibly influential album was released only a year before The Charlatans' one.

Choon man!

great catchy song. great band.

Great song. The Charlatans are underappreciated - I think.

"The Only One" represents the essence of the one ideal love that everyone carries within; and which people attempt throughout their lives to project onto various significant others, with greater and lesser successes..
@passerby22312 - great explanation. More of this sort of thing please.

Great song. The lead singer proper sounds like Ian brown. I thought he was in another band at first!

'everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain' love it! everyone knows what its like to be hurt. a classic 90s tune..
