The One

Song byShakira

in AlbumLaundry Service

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 news

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

Youre my () real life has just begun

You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love
