[Verse 1]
You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I wanted

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I'm scared
‘Cause I've been here before
With every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

[Chorus]
I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

[Verse 2]
Have I been on your mind?
Do you hang on every word I say?
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name?
Will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose, you'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I'm scared
'Cause we've been here before
With every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forgive my past and simply be mine

[Chorus]
I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worthy, mmm
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

[Bridge]
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
(Nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
(Trust me I've learned it)
(Nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
(Trust me, I've learned it)
(Nobody's perfect)
I know
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
I know
(Trust me, I've learned it)
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
(Trust me, I've learned it)

[Chorus]
So, I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

[Outro]
Come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can, yeah
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

In this digital and single-driven age, it’s very difficult for artists to sell albums. Yet, this British singer-songwriter has managed to sell over 50 million units on the back of her two latest albums alone.

Known for her strong, unique vocal talents who also possesses a very down-to-earth persona, Adele Adkins, born on May 5, 1988, made her studio debut in 2008 with 19, which netted the artist two Grammy awards and earned her significant acclaim in the UK.

In early 2011, Adele released her sophomore album, 21, written in the aftermath of a tumultuous relationship and nasty break-up. The album has sold 35 million copies worldwide and is the 21st album of all time to be certified Diamond in the U.S. (10 million copies sold), a milestone achieved in less than two years after its release. At the 2012 Grammys, Adele took home six trophies including Song, Record, and Album of the Year, making her only the second artist in Grammys history to win all four General Field categories. To this day, 21 is the most successful album on the Billboard 200 ever.
