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
