Ah
Mmm-hmm
Yeah

Took me some time to realize what I've been missing

But now it's clear, in my mind without any doubt
No resent to wait, there is no mistake about you, girl
When you touch me I feel so good inside
Girl, this feeling that I feel I know is real

(So) So many nights I've prayed
That someone like you come my way (come my way)
(Now) Now that you're here, sweet darling
I won't let you get away

'Cause you're the one, baby, the only one for me
You're the one (the one)
I need (I need) the only one I need

Where was my head when I go around searching for me?
(I know, baby) someone like you
I patiently waited for so long
Now that we are one, life has just begun for you and I
When you touch me, I stop to tremble inside
'Cause you want a tender touch I can't resist

(So) so many nights I've prayed
That someone like you come my way (come my way)
(Now) Now that you're here, sweet sugar
I can't let you get away

'Cause you're the one, baby, the only one for me
You're the one (the one)
I need (I need) the only one I need (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're the one, baby, the only one for me, hey
You're the one (the one)
I need (I need) the only one I need

You're the one (baby) you're the one (I need)
You're the one (you're the one
The one I need) the only one for me
Girl, I had to let you know I'll never let you go, no
'Cause you're the one (the one) I need (I need) the only
('Cause you're the one, baby, the only one for me)
(You're the one, baby, the one)

We don't have to say goodbye
No no
Our love
(Our love, ooh)
Will last forever, girl
(Mmm, forever)
