I’m The One
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.
Take this cold heart of mine
Take this man who wants to shine
What’s that word in your mouth?
I can’t hear you when you shout
I cannot take what you cannot give
Everybody’s gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody’s gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I’m the one
Baby, I’ll be gone
Everybody wants to know if they belong
Everybody’s got the right to get it wrong
Baby, I’m the one
Baby, I’ll be gone
I’ve always loved you without words
So many things you’ve never heard
But I need no license for livin
I’ve got my papers in heaven
You cannot take what I cannot give
Everybody’s gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody’s gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I’m the one
Baby, I’ll be gone
Everybody wants to know if they belong
Everybody’s got the right to get it wrong
Baby I’m the one,
And baby, I’ll be gone
Now that my thoughts have settled down
A seed is growing in the ground
I’m not the friend you’re looking for
I’m somethin less or somethin more
Everybody’s gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody’s gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I’m the one
Baby, I’ll be gone
Baby, I’m the one,
And baby, I’ll be gone
Everybody’s gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody’s gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I’m the one
Baby, I’ll be gone
