Be 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.

Hey, I’m not the one to start no trouble

I’m not one to throw no salt

But you standing out here crying

I watched as that dude drove off

Assuming that that’s your man

Assuming that you’re just fault

I don’t know the whole story, but assuming it wasn’t your fault

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done

Let me be the one

Now I know that you don’t know me

But hear what I’m talking bout

Cause when I look at you what I see

Is worth tryina work it out

Now I don’t know him so I can’t say that he’s a bad dude

But is he really trying, I think not

And all I’m saying is if he won’t make the effort

Let me give it a shot

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done

Uhu, uh, let me be, what you want

Let me be, what he’s not

Let me show, you real love

Cause real love is all I got

Uh, come on in, out the rain

Come let me, do it right

Come let me, change your heart

And change your life, whoa

Girl let me be, the one, be the one

Girl let me be, the one, be the one

Girl let me be, the one, be the one

Girl let me be, the one, be the one

Uh la la, la la la la, la la la la la

Uh la la, la la la la, la la la la la

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done

Baby since he just won’t do it right, oh

Let me be the one, let me show you what real love is like

And do the things he should have done
