Melissa Etheridge
I’m the Only One
[Intro]
Haha

[Verse 1]
Please, baby, can't you see my mind's a burnin' hell?
I got razors a-rippin' and tearin' and strippin', my heart apart as well
Tonight you told me that you ache for somethin' new
And some other woman is lookin' like somethin' that might be good for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Go on and hold her 'til the screamin' is gone
Go on, believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong

[Chorus]
But I'm the only one who'll walk across a fire for you
And I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

[Verse 2]
Please, baby, can't you see I'm tryin' to explain?
I've been here before and I'm lockin' the door and I'm not goin' back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow that holds you down today
[Pre-Chorus]
Go on and hold her 'til the screamin' is gone (Screamin' is gone)
Go on, believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong

[Chorus]
But I'm the only one who'll walk across a fire for you
And I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

[Post-Chorus]
I-I-I-I
Ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Go on and hold her 'til the screamin' is gone (Screamin' is gone)
Go on, believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong

[Chorus]
But I'm the only one who'll walk across a fire for you
And I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one, woo
I'm the only one
[Outro]
See?
Woo
Haha
Woo
