The Only One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love what you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs and you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It's a mess out there

[Verse 2]
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love what you do to my heart
When you push me back down and then pull me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It's the best, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love what you do to my lips
When you suck me inside and you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips

It's so sweet in there

[Verse 4]
Oh I love, love, love, love what you do to my hips
When you blow me outside and then suck me like this
I love what you do to my hips

It's the beat, oh yeah

[Chorus 1]
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please

You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets better every day I play
With you it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets better every day, I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets wetter every day I stay
With you it's like a dream

[Verse 5]
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love what you do to my skin
Please slip me on and slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It's a passion, oh yeah

[Verse 6]
Oh I love, love, love, love what you do to my bones
When you slide me up and take me home
I love what you do to my bones
It's the crush, oh yeah

[Chorus 2]
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please

You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets hazier any way I sway
With you, it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets mazier every play, I say
With you, it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets crazier every day I stay
With you it's like a dream

[Outro]
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
