[Chorus]
Oh, congratulations
You found the one, you found the one
I think I can finally face that
I'm not the one, never was the one
God, I dodged a bullet
I ran fast right through it
I love myself too much to fight you
But, oh, congratulations
You found the one, another one
You found the one, another one
You found the one, another one

[Verse]
Honestly, I'm happy for you
I do not wish you no harm
I met your boyfriend, he's beautiful
Please treat him like he's someone
Someone perfect, someone so divine
Someone special, someone good inside
I don't want him to hurt like me
Just please treat him like he's someone

[Chorus]
But, oh, congratulations
You found the one, you found the one
I think I can finally face that
I'm not the one, never was the one
God, I dodged a bullet
I ran fast right through it
I love myself too much to fight you
But, oh, congratulations
You found the one, another one

[Bridge]
Move through him like water
Love stains on the sun
Don't say I didn't warn ya
You'll never be enough
Move through him like water
Love stains on the sun
Don't say I didn't warn ya
You'll never be enough

[Chorus]
But, oh, congratulations
You found the one, you found the one
I think I can finally face that
I'm not the one, never was the one
God, I dodged a bullet
I ran fast right through it
I love myself too much to fight you
But, oh, congratulations
You found the one, another one

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
