lyrics

The One by Ezra Vancil

We grew up in the same big city
south of the mexican line
I always knew that she was pretty
and I dreamed that she’d be mine

I was the quiet one
I was the sad son
she was the valentine
and while the boys play
I just drift away
hoping she’ll read my mind

You want to play
I’m your fire
you want a song
I’ll be sung
You want feeling
I’m your desire
cause everything i do I always done
trying to make you the one

Her folks split
she took a hard hit
and traveled with the drunk’n bum
I asked about her but I didn’t want to know
just married with a baby son
but twenty years
and a lot of tears
I was broken down and left undone
she came to my door
like the girl before
hiding out on the run

You want to play
I’m your fire
you want a song
I’ll be sung
You want feeling
I’m your desire
cause everything i do I always done
trying to make you the one

She bought a white dress
man I was still a mess
drinking up the things I’d done
A perfect honeymoon
but trouble came soon
and we both had a feeling to run
and I disappeared into oled fear
searching for the boy I was
She was beside me but she wouldn’t lie to me
a man is only what he does

but if You want to play
I’m your fire
you want a song
I’ll be sung
You want feeling
I’m your desire
cause everything i do I always done
trying to make you the one

We have a house in the same big city
south of the mexican line
our children in the yard
ya our life is hard
but I know you're mine

You want to play
I’m your fire
you want a song
I’ll be sung
You want feeling
I’m your desire
cause everything i do I always done
trying to make you the one

You want to play
I’m your fire
you want a song
That I’ll be sung
I’m your desire
trying to make you the one
