Bring Back the One I Love Lyrics by The Smithereens

2011

0

[Verse 1]
My girl is leaving town
Left me here six feet under the ground
They say she's homeward bound

[Pre-Chorus]
She's the one I love but she just won't talk to me
When I'm in the crowd, she's the only face I see

[Chorus]
Bring back the one I love
That girl's the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
She's the only one, she's the only one for me

[Verse 2]
My time is running out
Leaves my head filled with nothing but doubts
I want to scream and shout

[Pre-Chorus]
She's the one I need but she just won't talk to me
When I'm in the crowd she's the only face I see

[Chorus]
Bring back the one I love
That girl's the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
She's the only one, she's the only one for me

[Verse 3]
That girl has come and gone (Come and gone)
It didn't last too long (Last too long)
She never did belong to me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me

[Verse 2]
My time is running out
Leaves my head filled with nothing but doubts
I want to scream and shout

[Bridge]
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me

[Chorus]
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love (Bring her on back)
