Lyrics
THERE'S ONLY ONE OF YOU
Verse
Sit and listen for the elevator
To make a creaky sound
When it stops I'll have to run and
Take the back stairs down
It's your girlfriend coming home from work
But I'm just a girl
A friend out on the border
Of your world
Chorus
And I can't escape the truth
No matter what I do
There may be two of us
But there's only one of you
Verse
When you told her she could move out here
From Tucson to the sea
Knew that she'd be number one
And I'd be number three
Only want to talk to you
Hang out by the bay
Run around the city
Every day
Chorus
But I can't escape the truth
No matter what I do
There may be two of us
But there's only one of you
Bridge
She doesn't like your friends
She's got you on a chain
Hope she doesn't take you back to
Tucson on the train
Verse
Want to sit here half the night
You play your guitar
You know the song you always sing
About a hungry heart
Just a mattress on the floor
I've got the only chair
I like that leather jacket
That you wear
Chorus
But I can't escape the truth
No matter what I do
There may be two of us
But there's only one of you
