Lyrics
ONE OUTA ONE
(J. Carroll)
One outa one experts agree
That things are over and done with you and me
Tried every proven remedy
There's only one way out as you can see
It's just another classic circumstance
A failed run at a lasting sure romance
Survey says we're H-I-S tory
And one outa one experts agree
Well you been checking your list like a scientist
That has just experimented
The conclusions say there ain't one damn way on earth we can prevent it
You've got the evidence compiled so high
It's blocking out the sun
You must insist that this is meant to be
One outa one experts agree
That things are over and done with you and me
Tried every proven remedy
There's only one way out as you can see
It's just another classic circumstance
A failed run at a lasting sure romance
It's an overwhelming M-A-J ority
When one outa one experts agree
Well, honey, this ain't fair
And this ain't fun
And this ain't news to anyone
Except, of course, to you-know-who
Would love to have
One word with you
One outa one outa one experts agree
That things are over and done with you and me
Tried every proven remedy
There's only one way out as you can see
It's just another classic circumstance
A failed run at a lasting sure romance
You don't have to spell it out for me
When one outa one experts agree
Bye-bye baby, be by yourself
