(Be my) Only One

 

 

(Be my) Only One

(For Sue!)

Life pours salt upon my opened wounds

But one bead of your breath

Can cure me of harm

So be my Only One

Unleash your charms

Forever, Only One

 

Life cries foul upon my fragile soul

But one kiss from your lips

Can cure me of harm

So be my One One

Unleash your charms

Wherever, Only One

 

And you make me feel like a born-again atheist

Please corrupt my soul

Punish me with a life of sin

From within

You’ve control of me

 

Life pounds beats upon my wearied skull

But one smile from your lips

Can cure me of harm

So be Only One

Unleash your charms

Whenever, Only One

 

And you make me feel such a joyful agnostic

Please corrode my soul

Make me swim in a sea of sin

From within

Let me drown in you

 

Life pours salt upon my opened wounds

But one bead of your sweat

Can cure me of harm

So be my Only One

Unleash your charms

Wherever, Only One
