Lyrics

One

[Verse 1]

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Two can be as bad as one

It's the loneliest number since the number one

[Verse 2]

"No" is the saddest experience you'll ever know

Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know

[Refrain]

Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

[Bridge]

It's just no good anymore since you went away

Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

[Refrain]

Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

[Outro]

One is the loneliest number

One is the loneliest number

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number, much, much worse than two

One is a number divided by two

One

One is the loneliest number
