and you say that you wanna be free
but you can´t cos you´re looking at me
hold you tight in my arms and you´ll see
i am the one

awake in sweat, the air is hot and thick
and the pillow´s wet, i´m feeling kind of sick
you´re lying there alive and breathing deep
your frown is tight - you´ve been thinking in your sleep

and you say that you wanna be free
but you can´t cos you´re looking at me
hold you tight in my arms and you´ll see
i am the one

i´ll hold you down with promises and threats
remind you how it was when we first met
let´s take a boat to tha dark side of the lake
and share a joke cos there´s music in the trees

and you say that you wanna be free
well you can´t cos you´re looking at me
hold you tight in my arms and you´ll see
i am the one

i was the one - the oyster to your pearl
i´ve loved you more than a thousand other girls
so we´ll sing our song - it´s been haunting us for years
spin me to the sun and we´ll kiss the world our cheers

and you say that you wanna be free
but you can´t cos you´re looking at me
hold you tight in my arms and you´ll see
i am the one
