Lyrics

I'm a cool hunter making you my way

Like a brand name you'll replay

I will know you

I won't show you, yeah yeah

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one

Heat-seeking missile freak

Black magick

Scared to speak

I will know you

I won't show you, yeah yeah

Will you buy me a shaky heart

Let's forget has torn me apart

I will know you

I won't show you, yeah yeah

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one

Can you sell me

Yesterday's girl

Because everyday I feel more like her

Oh baby baby

Please don't go

Pattern recognition

Is kind of slow

Like a cool hunter watch the disarray

Keep your secret foolish head away

I will know you

I won't show you, yeah yeah

Close your eyes and feel the fun

Pattern recognition's on the run

I will know you

I won't show you, yeah yeah

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one

You're the one
