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.

I've tried playing it cool

But, when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky

You are my kryptonite

You keep making me weak, yeah

Frozen and can't breathe

Something's gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to make you see

That I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing

So, get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing and

You've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls

But you don't notice at all

That I'm going out of my mind

All day and all night

Something's gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to know your name

And I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing

So, get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my mind

And c'mon, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing and

You've got that one thing

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You've got that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

So, get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)

And c'mon, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing and

You've got that one thing
