Текст песни The One - Terri Clark

I hear the whispers as I walk by
They always start with 'bless her heart'
She's still single and that's such an empty life
She must not be looking all that hard

They've all got their stories
Of why I'm still alone
But the only truth that matters is my own

I want fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart
Down to my fingertips

And twenty years from now
It still won't be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for
But I won't take any less

Just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without

Momma's always getting on me
She says I don't give anyone a chance
But if I can't feel the music when somebody holds me
How am I supposed to dance?

There might be a few more lonely nights
But I'm not keeping score
It's worth the wait for what I'm waiting for

Fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the flesh that pounds my heart
Down to my fingertips

And twenty years from now
It still won't be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for
But I won't take any less

Just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without

And just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without
Oh, I can't live without
