Only One Woman Lyrics

Ten little Indians standing around
I bet there are many but how would I know
As she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love

Who sees my lonely face, who sees my shame
Nobody in the place can tell me her name
’Cause she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love

‘Cause she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love

Ten little Indians, now there are none
I bet there are many, but her love still goes on
She was only one woman
Only one woman
And I’ve got a picture
Of the woman, the woman, the woman
The woman I love
She was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love
She was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Nigel Olsson say about "Only One Woman"?
Genius Answer

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Olsson said:

We’d actually done a song before that at Caribou Ranch with the whole band called ‘Only One Woman,’ which was a Bee Gees song they wrote for a band in America called Marbles. I loved that song. When we were up at Caribou we had some downtime and I said, ‘Hey, listen, can I cut this song? I love it.’ The record company liked it and we put it out as a single and it did very well in the States."
