The One (w/o rap) Songtext
von Mariah Carey

Yo, if you ever been in a relationship
And got hurt really, really bad
This song′s for you
I mean, you know what it feel like
Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talking about
To not ever wanna do it again
Then you meet somebody
Without a doubt you know they the one
Huh, yeah, but you be so scared and nervous
That you don′t wanna get hurt again
(Now MC, baby, tell 'em what we talking about)


See I'm going through a situation
That I can′t help
Wanna get a little closer
But I promised myself
That I would never give my heart up
Away again
Ooh ooh babe, I know it′s hard
But you gotta understand it
The truth is all the hurt and the pain
And the shit that you get when you have it
Ain't worth it
I′ve been there so many times
I should know better but I
Can't stop what I feel
When you′re next to me
I really think I

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I′m scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
′Cause I know that you′re the one

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I′m scared
And I'm nervous
Don′t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you′re the one


See the problem with relationships
In general is that it's always a game
In the beginning they'll do
Anything to have you
And once they do, it′s never the same
And I, know everyone out there can relate
So the question is
(One) Do I really wanna trust this feeling?
(Two) Do I wanna let it pass me by?
(Three) Do you think it′s only superficial?
(Four) Could it actually be different this time?
Someone to love me
Someone to be my everything
Maybe I've stumbled upon

Finally found somebody
That could be the one (The only one)
But I promised myself
That I wouldn′t give in to love (No, no)
And I'm scared
And I′m nervous (I just don't wanna be hurt)
Don′t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one

Finally found somebody
That could be the one (Maybe I′ve found)
But I promised myself
That I wouldn′t give in to love
And I'm scared
And I′m nervous (Boy I'm so afraid)
Don′t wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you′re the one

Oh baby
Sweet darling
I think I finally found

Finally found somebody (The only one)
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared
And I′m nervous (No)
Don′t wanna be hurt anymore (I don't wanna be hurt anymore)
This is bad ′cause I know that you're the one

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself (Finally found)
That I wouldn′t give in to love
And I'm scared
And I′m nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you′re the one

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn′t give in to love
And I'm scared (And I′m scared)
And I'm nervous (And I′m nervous)
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
′Cause I know that you're the one

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I′m scared
And I′m nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
′Cause I know that you're the one
