Only Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, pretty baby, you're my motivator
Got me changing my words and my behavior
Pretty lady, you're my operator
Got me dialing your number just to hear ya

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me the things that you want
I give you all that I've got
Open your eyes, then you will see

[Chorus]
It's just you and me
Only
Throwing out the key
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Only
Listen to you breathe
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me

[Verse 2]
My disaster, you're my only answer
You got me thinking that I could be a master
Pretty baby, you're my heavy ocean
Weigh me down and give me your devotion
