## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

*I want you, I want you*

*I want you, I want you*

*I want you, I want you*

*Let me introduce myself*

*Let me introduce myself*

*Let me introduce myself*

**[Verse 1]**

Lookin' in your eyes makes me wonder how

I got so much time with you and there's more around

I know all the competition that's after you

So I get to thinking, is this too good to be true?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

That we’re living in a fairytale, no malice & no lies

Baby, ooh, it's hard to believe

That the love you have inside is only mine

That's how I know

**[Chorus]**

I can't be your only one

No, I can't be your only one

'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met

And your love is three times better

How could anyone forget?

No, I can't

I can't be your only one

No, I can't be your only one

'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met

And your love is three times better

How could anyone forget?

No, I can't

**[Verse 2]**

As I'm layin' down with you every night

It still gets to me, that you remain by my side

I ain't saying that I'm not deserving you

But I was dreaming bigger than I ever knew when I

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Wished for living in a fairytale, no malice and no lies

Baby ooh, it's hard to believe

That the love you have to give is only mine

That's how I know

**[Chorus]**

I can't be your only one

No, I can't be your only one

'Cause you look twice as good as anyone Iever met

And your love is three times better

How could anyone forget?

No, I can't

I can't be your only one

No, I can't be your only one

'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met

And your love is three times better

How could anyone forget?

No, I can't

**[Outro]**

Only one

Be your only one

Only one
