Lyrics

Girl, I (Bbm7add4)see it in your eyes, you’re dis ap point ed ’cause I’m the fool ish one that you a noint ed (Bbm7add4)with your heart.

I (Eb11)tore it a part.

And, girl, what a (Bbm7add4)mess I made up on your in no cence.

And no wom an in the world de serves this; but (Bbm7add4)here I am, ask ing you for (Eb11)one more chance.

Can we fall

one more time?

Stop the tape

and re wind?

(Eb11)ing.

Oh, and if you (Bbm7add4)walk a way I know I’ll fade, ’cause there is (Bbm7add4)no bod y else.

It’s got ta be you,

on ly you.

It’s got to be you,

on ly you.

Now girl, I (Bbm7add4)hear it in your voice, in how it trem bles; when you speak to me I don’t re sem ble (Bbm7add4)who I was.

You’ve al most (Eb11)had e nough;

and your (Bbm7add4)ac tions speak loud er than words, and (Eb11)you’re a bout to break from all you’ve heard.

But (Bbm7add4)don’t be scared,

I ain’t (Eb11)go ing no where.

I’ll be here

Oh, girl, can we try (Bbm7add4)one more, one more time?

(Eb11)One more, one more; can we try (Bbm7add4)one more, one more time?

(Eb11)I’ll make it bet ter.

(Bbm7add4)One more, one more; can we try (Eb11)one more, one more?

Can we try (Bbm7add4)one more time to make it all bet ter?

’Cause it’s got ta be you.

It’s got ta be you,

on ly you,

on ly you.

It’s got ta be you,

on ly you.

It’s got ta be you,

on ly you.
