Lyrics
Number 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.
You can't be still
You're such a nervous fellow
Like a yo-yo
Up and down
Take this little pill
And life will be so mellow
You'll feel the world
Start slowing down around
Who's that rushing out the door
Who's not taking any more
Who's been down this road before
Without you
You tell me who's number one
Who's not here
Who's having fun
Who's the one who cares this much
About you
You won't feel the pain
You won't mind the rain
You can be happy all the time
All the time
One dose twice a day
The world will go away
You'll be smiling through
The worst of times
Who's that rushing out the door
Who's not taking any more
Who's been down this road before
Without you
You tell me who's number one
Who's not here
Who's having fun
Who's the one
Who knows so much about you
I believe I belive
There's something more
I believe it's just beyond the door
I believe there's something more
I believe it's just
Beyond the door
I believe there's something
Better out there
Wanna leave this world
So far behind
I can see your face there
In my mind
I believe there's something
Better our there
Who's that rushing
Who's not taking
Who's been down this
You tell me who's
Who's not here who's
Who's the one who
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better
