[Verse 1]
As the rain drops down in this cotton town
We eat candyfloss by the sea
And the more it pours, the more I'm yours
Oh, please, steal the way with me
But there's another girl and she turns your world
You joke she's not a patch on me
And when I watch your eyes, I'm catchin' butterflies
Oh, I wish that you could see me

[Chorus 1]
Wooh, you were the one I have been lookin' for
Wooh, you were the one I never found before

[Verse 2]
Playin' in the dirt
In your favorite shirt
You plant a kiss upon my lips
And I just stopped and stared
You run your hands through my hair
Electric currents to my fingertips

[Chorus 1]
Wooh, you were the one I have been lookin' for
Wooh, you were the one I never found before

[Bridge]
But when Sully Tane heard about my name
She came around and knocked upon my door
When she came around, she stepped my flowers down
Don't want me hanging 'round with you no more
So I moved away to another place
No more candy by the sea

[Chorus 2]
Wooh, you were the one I have been searchin' for
Wooh, you were the one I never found before

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
