Steppenwolf - You're The Only One lyrics

Words and music by John Kay Dry your eyes, come sit close to me Lay your head on my aching chest And let me try to console and comfort you It's my fault, I can do no less All night long we've been talkin' 'bout All the time that my work will take But all is know is , I work for two And if music ain't my life It's still the living I make So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms Nothing will ever take your place You're the only one that knows me You're the only one I trust You're the only one that matters in my life You're the only one I lean on You're the only one I need You're the only one that's ever been enough Oh, you're the only one I ever loved Soon I'll go back to battle And soon I'll wear the right face for the part But when it's over I'm coming back to you girl For you're the only one that knows me by heart So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms Nothing will ever take your place You're the only one that knows me You're the only one I trust You're the only one that matters in my life You're the only one I lean on You're the only one I need You're the only one that's ever been enough Oh, you're the only one I ever loved For all those days you lived alone And all those nights when you were left behind And all those times you felt left out I can't repay but to make these moments count So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms Nothing will ever take your place You're the only one that knows me You're the only one I trust You're the only one that matters in my life You're the only one I lean on You're the only one I need You're the only one that's ever been enough Oh, you're the only one I ever loved © 1984 Rambunctious Music ASCAP
