Only You Lyrics by Scatman John

Scatman’s World

1995

[Intro]
Uh-huh
Schti-ki-ti-kuh
Schtink-te-kut
Skeb-de-deyo
[Chorus]
Only you, only you
Only you make my dreams come true
Only you, only you
Only you make my dreams come true
[Refrain]
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
[Verse 1]
Love is not possession and it can't be possessed
If I should try to own you, I'd be like all the rest (Schti-ki-ti-kuh)
I've learnt from past conviction that love is not addiction
I've tried that many times and failed the test (Bop-bo-dob-dig-ti-don-don)
Baby, baby, baby, you're so good for my soul
Baby, baby, baby, I'm the one you can hold
I've simply got to tell from the bottom of my heart
The first time that I saw you I was sure right from the start
[Chorus]
Only you, only you
Only you make my dream come true
Only you, only you
Only you make my dream come true
[Refrain]
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
[Verse 2]
What you are is just enough, don't have to be no more (Tchik-chi-ki)
I don't care 'bout the way you wear your hair (Tchik-chi-ki-t-do)
I don't need to mold you, I only want to hold you
Girl, so you can breath a wholesome breath of air (Rub-du-dup-t-tig-t-do)
Mama, mama, mama, come get your baby boy
Mama, mama, mama, you're my sadness and joy
You’re my life (Tchik-tchi-ki-t-do), shining bright (Tchik-chik-chki-oh-t-do)
You're the beginning of the rest of my life
[Chorus]
Only you, only you
Only you make my dream come true
Only you, only you
Only you make my dream come true
[Refrain]
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
[Bridge]
Only you can make, only you can make
Only you can make my grey skies blue
Only you can make, only you can make
Only you can make my dream come true
Only you can make, only you can make
Only you can make my grey skies blue
Only you can make, only you can make
Only you can make my dream come true
[Refrain]
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do (Only you)
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do (Only you)
Be-bop-bo be-boppo-do
Be-bop-be ba-boppo-do

Make my dream come true
