one and only


i didn’t know her name
when she made me pray
when she waved at me like she
was in a parade

like an angel touching down
she stood out from the crowd
i wanted to follow her home
a girl like that should never be alone

i knew that girl would be
my one and only
i knew that girl would be
my one and only

so i spent my time on her
my investment yielded no return
i tore her picture from my wall
but i found no flame to burn

then she saw me standing there
guess she noticed my stare
then she spoke the words that made all right
do you think we could go out tonight?

so i treated her like royalty
and she up and left the throne
i, the jester, executed
with, “can’t you just leave me alone?”

my friends say there’s always more
lie about the line outside the door
they speak of fish in a big blue sea
but i know that’s not for me

Oh she will always be
my one and only.
