One Man Woman Lyrics by Quincy Jones

Back On the Block

1989

[Verse 1]
Oh, you set me up and then you let me down
Like a flame of desire that keeps on burnin', burnin'
I can't be sure of what I've found, baby
Need a one woman man who's ready for a one man woman
[Pre-Chorus]
No more playin' — know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause one day you might find your good thing gone
And baby, I know, for sure
I said it before
I got a heart that's lonely for you only, baby
Oh...
[Chorus]
There ain't been a woman yet (One man)
Who can love you like I can ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
There ain't been a woman, never one, to want a man so bad (One man so bad)
There ain't been a woman, no (One man)
Who can love you like I do ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
And it's so strong, move it on, can't be wrong
[Verse 2]
Now what it is about you, I can't say
But the view from my heart has gotta be the best thing I've seen
I think it's time you finally change your ways
And be a one woman man
Who's ready for a one man woman
[Pre-Chorus]
No more runnin', no careless funnin'
Or you'll wake up to find your good thing gone
And baby, I know, I know for sure
I said it before
I got a heart that's achin', no mistakin', baby, oh
[Chorus]
There ain't been a woman yet (One man)
Who can love you like I can ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
There ain't been a woman, never one (One man)
To want a man so bad (One man so bad)
There ain't been a woman, no (One man)
Who could love you like I do ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
And there'll never be, never been, never no, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Talk to me, baby, yeah, yeah
[scatting]
One woman man
[Pre-Chorus]
No more playin' — you know what I'm sayin'?
One day you might find your good thing gone
Baby, I know, I know for sure
Said it all before, boy
I got a heart that's lonely for you only, baby
Oh...
[Chorus]
There ain't been a woman yet (One man)
Who can love you like I can ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
There ain't been a woman, never one (One man)
To want a man so bad (One man so bad)
There ain't been a woman, no (One man)
Who could love you like I do ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
And it's so strong, move it on, can't be wrong
There ain't been a woman yet (One man)
Who can love you like I can ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
There ain't been a woman, never one (One man)
To want a man so bad (One man so bad)
There ain't been a woman, no (One man)
Who can love you like I do ('Cause I'm a one man woman)
[Outro]
Oh, can't you see
That I want to be
I got what you need to make it happen
I can be your woman, baby
