I’m the one she turns to tell it to when she ain’t treated right
Every time she turns away, you know it tears me up inside
It’s an endless parade, a pageant, of posers, pricks and fools
What it is, I can’t imagine, a poor boy has to do
All the girls that walk the world could make a ring around the sun
But when I make her laugh it’s like there might as well be only one
And every swine in the whole wide world has had a root around her pearls
Here am I standing right beside her, like the last man in the world
But if I reach out just to touch her
If I hold her close and clutch her
In my arms, as I have never done before
And if I look into her eyes
If I tell her in my silence
What I wouldn’t tell a million times or more
And if I kiss her, will she kiss me back, oh Lord
If I kiss her, will she kiss me back?
If I kiss her, will she kiss me back, oh Lord
If I kiss her, will she kiss me back?
She’s the only one I’m thinking of when I’m with other girls
If she knew the way I think of her, I’d lose her love for sure
The world turns like a top that teeters in the darkness all around
You put a kiss on the wrong two lips, you turn the whole thing upside down
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
She’s the one
But if I reach out just to touch her
If I hold her close and clutch her
In my arms, as I have never done before
And if I look into her eyes
If I tell her in my silence
What I wouldn’t tell, a million times or more, oh no
And if I kiss her, will she kiss me back, oh Lord?
If I kiss her, will she kiss me back?
