Only You Lyrics
The Flying Pickets
Lyrics
Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum
Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
Moving further away
Won't you hear me?
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of your name
And it's only a game
And I need you
Listening to the words that you say
Getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Badum, badum, badadadum
Badadadum, badadada, badadadum
Badum (badum), badum (badum), (badadadum) dadadadadadadum
(Badadadum) dadadadadadadum, (badum, badadadum) dadadadadadadum
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum
Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum, Badadadum
