A step in the right direction, a stitch in time saves nine

To me you are perfection, and the love you saved was mine.

When I think of all the girls that I've ever kissed

and the ones that I'd wished I could know,

it's a real short list with just one name, you're one in a row.

You're a class by yourself

You're the state of the art

You're alone on the shelf

You're the top of the chart

You're the singular case

You're the queen of the place

You're the star of the show

You're one in a row

There's one chance in a million, there's one sun up in the sky.

I'm glad you were willin', and here's the reason why.

When I think of all the girls that I've ever kissed

and the ones that I'd wished I could know,

it's a real short list with just one name, you're one in a row.

You're the unrivalled champ

You're the boss of the camp

You're the mavin of charm

You're a shot in the arm

You're alone in the bunch

You're a dark horse hunch

You're a heavy-weight blow

You're one in a row
