Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

I'm the One

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh...

I've been here, I've been 'round

I've been tryin' not to put you down

But cha don't know

How to treat a woman like me

I've been up, I've been down

I've been thrown on the ground

But you don't have to slap my face

'Cause that's not the way to do

What you want me to do

You've got to love me

You've got to give it to me

You've got to hold me

You've got to make everything alright

You've got to show me that you need me

Even when it hurts a little

Because I'm the one that you need

I've been lost, I've been found

I've been all over town

And I don't have to take this mess no more

You got until midnight tonight

To set this love thing right

Or I don't wanna see your face at my door

So don't cha lie, I told you why

You don't have to say goodbye

Because I'm the one you need

It's true that one and one is two

(It's true that one and one is two)

But not just anyone will do

I'd like to spend my life with you

(Spend my days and my nights)

But first I gotta make you see

That I'm the one that you need

I'm the one that you need, baby

(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Mmm, yeah)

I'm the only one

(I'm the one that you need)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Oh, ooh...)

I'm the only one

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

I don't want to hear the bells, mm-mmm

I don't want to hear the bells strike twelve

One

It used to be so much fun

Two

Tell me, what are we going to do

Three

Baby, whatever happened to you and me

Four

(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

It's got to be you knockin' at my door

So don't you lie, I told you why

You don't have to say goodbye

(No, no)

So, don't you lie, I told you why

(Don't you lie, told you why)

You don't have to say goodbye

'Cause I'm the one you need

It's true that one and one is two

(It's true that one and one is two)

But not just anyone will do

(No, no, no, no, not anybody)

I'd like to spend my life with you

(Spend my days and my nights)

But first I gotta make you see

Gotta make you see

Gotta make you see that I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the only one

(I'm the one that you need)

I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the only one

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Ooh, oh...)

I'm the only one

(Come around midnight)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Oh, yeah)

I'm the only one

(Hurry up, baby)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Ooh, hey)

I'm the only one

(Don't wanna hear the clock)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Strike twelve)

I'm the only one

(No, no, no, come around midnight)

I'm the one, I'm the one

(Ooh, hey)

I'm the only one...
