The One

I hear the whispers as I walk by

They always start with bless her heart

She’s still single and that’s such an empty life

She must not be lookin’ all that hard

They’ve all got their stories of why I’m still alone

But the only truth that matters is my own

I want fireworks to paint the sky, a kiss to burn my lips

I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips

And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get

It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less

Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down

I don’t need a love that I can live with

I want the one I can’t live without

Momma’s always getting on me

She says I don’t give anyone a chance

But if I can’t feel the music when somebody holds me

How am I supposed to dance

There might be a few more lonely nights

But I’m not keeping score

It’s worth the wait for what I’m waitin’ for

Fireworks to paint the sky, a kiss to burn my lips

I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips

And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get

It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less

Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down

I don’t need a love that I can live with

I want the one I can’t live without

And just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down

I don’t need a love that I can live with

I want the one I can’t live without

No I can’t live without
