Only One

The Goo Goo Dolls Only One Lyrics
1.Only One

I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
I Must have been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other one for my health
The last is something bigger than myself

I ain't the only one to say

I'm talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes

I ain't the only one to say

Little pictures in my head
Turning inside out again
Cause fucking up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed

Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse
You tell me what you fear cause I can feel it like a curse

Well, you used to be a folk singer now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smoking dope singer swinging from a rope singer

I ain't the only one to say


2.Slave Girl

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
this little woman drives me insane
she's tied to my ankle with a ball chain
For sixteen years she's been hangin around
trying to bury me in a hole in the ground
well I think it's time that I even the score
there's only room for one in this cage of yours
Don't save me when I'm startin to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl cuz it's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin on my head

I look around try to see through my hair
you left me alone but do you think I care
Cause you moved me when I was taking my time
You abuse me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger signs...
So watch out!
GO!
you got me in the bondage of another rage
you drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
'Just come along and see me if you lose your way'
So join my chain gang play along with me
I'll be your caveman as basic as can be
I'm not insane man I'm just out of my tree


3.Disconnected

I don't remember
it doesn't ring a bell
and when you call me everything is swell
I tend to forget about the times we had
and now it doesn't matter cuz I feel so sad
Cause, I've been disconnected
someone pulled the plug
oh you're so distant won't you come along....yeah

We've paid the price and now we're both alone
and if you call me you'll find me home
I found another
someone to take your place
now if you don't mind
just get out of my face
