The One Lyrics

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 lookin� 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 waitin� for

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

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
No I can�t live without
