The One You Get
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you still love me
Then tell me so
If you're not certain
Then please let me go
I'd give my life
My last breath
To call you mine
I deal with that old devil
If I though maybe things would be fine
But I don't imagine I'll ever take that risk
'Cause if a woman doesn't find the man she wants
I feel sorry for the man she gets
At night on the phone
He tells me he cares
When I try calling back
He's never there
I'd give my life
My last breath
To know he is mine
I'd deal with that old devil
If I thought maybe things would be fine
I don't imagine that I'll ever take that risk
If a man doesn't find the girl he wants
I feel sorry for the girl he gets
I don't imagine we'll ever take that risk
If you don't find the one you want
I feel sorry for the one you get
For the one you get
For the one you get
I'll be your life
Your last breath
For the one you get
I'll be your love
I'll feel your pain
For the one you get
I'll feel sorry, yeah I do
For the one you get
I'll be your life
Your last breath
For the one you get
