IJSW

I can't help but say what's on my mind
I can't help but say what's on my mind
How can you say you don't feel the same
When I feel the heart of a beat moving with you?
How can we sway and stare into the night
When you say you don't want to be mine?
One and only, one and only
Got to be my lady
One and only, one and only
Got to be my girl
How is this for true devotion?
Dear, I’ll give you all, I’ll give you all
Who do you need me to be?
I'll be someone, I'll be someone for you
How is this for honesty?
I need to hear, I need to hear it now
Who do you need me to be?
I'll be someone, I'll be someone for you
I can only act out, what's on your mind?
(Tell me what’s on your mind)
I can only act on, what you say is mine?
(I want to know)
Someone's got to, someone's got to, someone's got to give in
Someone's got to, someone's got to, someone's got to give up
How is this for true devotion?
Dear, I’ll give you all, I’ll give you all
How is this for true romance?
I feel I pulled you down, I pulled you down
How is this for honesty?
I need to hear, I need to hear it now
Who do you need me to be?
I'll be someone, I'll be someone for you
One and only, one and only
Got to be my lady
One and only, one and only
Got to be my girl
How is this for true devotion?
Dear, I’ll give you all, I’ll give you all
How is this for true romance?
I feel I pulled you down, I pulled you down
How is this for honesty?
I need to hear, I need to hear it now
Who do you need me to be?
I'll be someone, I'll be someone for you
