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)

With you my real life has just begun

(You're the one I need)

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love
