The One Lyrics by Garbage

Not Your Kind of People

0

[Verse 1]
Yeah right from the start you had me hooked
And I knew I was falling
And sure you had me sussed
You worked me out
You took me right out no doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it

[Chorus]
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one

[Verse 2]
You know what I want
You see me sweat and lose all confidence
And you, you mess me up
I'm back to front
You know I want you, don't you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it

[Chorus]
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one

[Bridge]
Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
And get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it

[Chorus]
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one
