The One 2005

Yeah, it's still just the one: '96... 2005

I see a thousand women, but just one with eyes like these.

The world is hard, but you make me trust in love, yeah.

And I can still remember perfectly, I asked Lifeforce:

"Mike, who's that woman?" and then Lifeforce said:

"She's new in town, but too bad, she's already taken."

But I saw you and I couldn't live without you.

Don't you hear the love in these verses? It's no fairy tale--

It was love at first sight, you're my girl.

It was a tough week before you finally decided,

But I enjoyed it more and more every time we met,

Until we finally kissed and loved, so hot and so deep.

Our love was prophesied in the hieroglyphs.

The first time you said you loved me, wow,

I could imagine what paradise is like.

No matter what kind of woman, what kind of hips, what kind of legs,

Ladies, no chance, it's this one or none!

Chorus:

The one, the one or none.

There's no other woman I'd rather do time for,

And no other woman I'd trust so blindly,1

There's no other woman I'd rather lay down to sleep beside.

(2x)

3 months later I moved in with you2 and the rest of your family,

And you know how it is, pretty often things got tense.

Your neighbors called the police some nights,

Hey we kissed and loved3, we screamed and cursed.

And shorty, never mind all that, nothing beats your style.

We're like Sailor and Luna, we're wild at heart.4

And every relationship goes through a crisis now and then, kid,

If you don't know that, you don't know what love is.

I wrote a track for you that people love,

And everyone who heard it turned into a fan.

Then came our first apartment and our first night

In our own four walls, yeah money was tight.

But what does that matter, when you've finally found

What you were looking for your whole life, no more groping around in the dark, yeah!

Love and fans5 like in hotels on tour:

We celebrated, and mourned Biggie and Eazy.

And because we're still just beginning, and because we belong together

Like Lois Laine6 and Clark Kent, yep, I swear

That I'll always be strong. I love your body.

The words to describe you fail even me.

(Chorus)

I've got the woman of my life and even for another life after that,

And we fly around the planets, around Venus, around Mars.

We've been to Cuba and L.A., Miami Beach,

And in the whole world there's not one like her.

Because: you are my Cleopatra, yeah,

I lay the world at your feet like a big star.

You're in the picture and you capture it like good films do, everything about you is fine.

Baby, you know that if I had to I'd give it all up for you.

So hold on to my love hard, because it won't fade away.

This here is a deeper track, they won't get it.

When I rap about love, this here is going to last forever.

That's some crazy shit, that we've been true to each other for nine years, girl.

Because you understand me, this toast goes out to you, word.

To get rid of all the stress I just think about you.

And maybe you think, I'm losing it now,

But with these words I'm asking for your hand, baby...

(Chorus)

1. This is literally the negation of an idiom for not trusting someone, as though you were to say in British English "I don't trust him just as far as I can throw him."
2. It says "her" but then "your" in two other places, and I'm assuming "ihr" is misheard for "dir" since you couldn't mishear "deiner" for "ihrer"
3. It says "love" but everything else is in the past tense.
4. This is a reference to the movie "Wild at Heart" by David Lynch
5. Breezie suggested that the original lyric is actually "Anschauer," "members of the audience" or "viewers." This would at least make more sense than "am Schauer."
6. Lois Lane
