Lyrics
One Thing
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.
When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't listen
When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't care.
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's my suspicion
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's how I feel.
And I don't want
The silent treatment
And I don't need
To feel the chill.
You know a body feels empty
With no love inside
Yeah, a body feels empty
With no love at all.
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's my suspicion
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's how I feel.
One of these days
You're gonna wake up
and I'll be gone
You'll open your eyes
And see the truth.
When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't listen
When I try
to tell you one thing baby
You don't care.
