The One

"The One" from New Power Soul.

There are bootleg variations of it on KaZaa which are updated versions that exclude Mayte's name.

But the original is from New Power Soul--pretty much the only decent song on the entire album.

The One

If U're lookin' 4 the man that will walk away from responsibility
I ain't the one {x3}
And if U're lookin' 4 the brotha that'll treat U like anything but a queen
I ain't the one
But if U're lookin' 4 a man that'll sweep U off your tired weary feet

Pay your bills, buy U pretty dresses
And take U anywhere U wanna eat
Make love 2 U every night of the week
Oh, don't think it over, girl
Look no further
I am the one
Oh yes I am
If U're lookin' 4 a man that'll make big money

And keep it all 2 himself
I ain't the one
No, no - not me
And if U're lookin' 4 a man that'll have 10 women
And confuse it all with his wealth
Listen here, I ain't that one
No, no no - wait a minute
If U're lookin' 4 a man who can share his dinero (His money)

Buy U half the town (Half the town)
Treat every step U take (Every step)
As if U're walkin', huh, on holy ground (Holy ground)
Place U, place U above all others
When it comes, when it comes 2 the gettin' on down (Down)
Look no further, ooh
Your man's around (He's around)
Oh yes he is
He's standing right here, right here (Right here, right here)

Don't U look no further, girl
He's standing right here, right here
(I am the one) {x2}

If U're lookin' 4 a man that'll make U feel like time has just begun, oh

A man that'll make U feel like U're the only thing that ever mattered
Underneath the sun, underneath the sun, ooh
If U're lookin' 4 somebody
Who'll turn your bad day into one long night of fun
Look no further, baby
I'm… I'm the one
Oh yes I am

I am the one
Don't U look no further, girl
Oh, I am the one
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh
My, my, my little Mayte
I'm the one

There is one official remix on the 'Come On' maxi-single which does not mention Mayte - lyrics here:

now you can play I Hate U right after that and get the full effect of love gone bad (even if it ain't about her lol)
