Lyrics
So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone
Friday nights to take me dancing
And then to church on Sundays
To plant more dreams
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just to save a little money
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me, I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
'Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
In a world full of strangers
You're the one I know
So I learned to cook
And finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
Write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me, I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
'Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me, I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
'Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
(You're the one I need)
(You're the one I need)
With you my real life has just begun
(You're the one I need)
(You're the one I need)
Nothing like your smile made of sun
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Writer(s): Glen Ballard, Shakira Mebarak
