The One Lyrics - Lucky Dube

It started like a joke 

I never thought it would come to this 

Today I'm walking in the bushes, like a criminal 

Today I'm walking so slow, like a predator 

Just to get a glimpse of you 

As you play in the play ground. 

Your mother spoke to the lawyers 

Told them I was not good around you 

The lawyers spoke to the judges 

Told the I was not good around you 

The judges gave your mother a letter 

That is keeping me away from you 

Don't worry, you are never far from me 

Inside my heart, I keep a little box 

It is the box of memories I created about you 

Chorus 

You are the one, you are the one. 

Whenever I miss you bad, 

I walk around the park 

Looking at little boys and girls 

They remind me of you 

There's a lot of stories I'd like to share with you 

There's a lot of games, I'd like to play with you 

Tears come down my face 

When I think about what happened 

The lawyer spoke to the judges 

Told them I was not good around you 

The judges gave your mother a letter, 

That is keeping me away from you. 

Don't worry, you are never far from me. 

Inside my heart I keep a little box, 

It is a box of memories I created about you. 

Chorus 

YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE THE ONE. 

Till fade.
