Ever since you could remember, girl
You've been waiting on a gentleman
To be your steady rock and rock your world
To build your little white house on a little land
If you want someone to want you, need you
Keep you close and never leave you
Be my baby and I'll be the...
Oh I'll be the one that you call and talking to your mama all about
The one you're always with and never wanna live without
I'll be the one who got the one that got away, yeah
If you let me, baby
Oh I'll be the one to hold you up
Hold your hand, the one to hold the door
The one you're holding on, that you've been holding out for
I'll be the one you're looking at when all your looking's done
If you'll be my lady, I'll be the one
(I'll be the one, yeah)
(I'll be the one)
Tell me if I'm talking out of place
Let me know if I'm right on the money
I like to think the smile on your face
Is 'cause you like the way I call you honey
You want my jacket?
Well, you can have it
You want my love? It's automatic
I'll be the one that you call and talking to your mama all about
The one you're always with and never wanna live without
I'll be the one who got the one that got away, yeah
If you let me, baby
Oh I'll be the one to hold you up
Hold your hand, the one to hold the door
The one you're holding on, that you've been holding out for
I'll be the one you're looking at when all your looking's done
If you'll be my lady, I'll be the one
(I'll be the one)
Let me be the one, let me be the one
(I'll be the one) Let me be the one, baby
Ooh, you make me wanna make you happy, make you coffee
Make your daddy wanna call me son
If you only let me be your one and only one
I'll be the one that you call and talking to your mama all about
The one you're always with and never wanna live without
I'll be the one who got the one that got away, yeah
If you let me, baby
Oh I'll be the one to hold you up, up, up, and hold the door
The one you're holding on, that you've been holding out for
I'll be the one you're looking at when all your looking's done
If you'll be my lady, I'll be the one
(I'll be the one)
Let me be the one, let me be the one
(I'll be the one)
Oooh, yeah
I'll be the one you're looking at when all your looking's done
If you'll be my lady, I'll be the one
Let me be the one, let me be the one, baby
