Huey Lewis And The News - The Only One - Текст песни

He was always the toughest kid 
But he never meant no harm 
But looking back I could see his fate 
Was tatooed on his arm 
Walking throught the courtyard 
Always there to be seen 
He and little Janie 
Together they were the king and queen 

He was the only one, who ever really knew 
He was the only one, what can we do 
He was the only one, he always showed us how 
He was the only one, where is he now 

Three years later at the bus stop 
I know I'll never forget 
He looked smaller and real wasted 
As he bummed a cigarette 
And I asked him what he'd been doing 
And how's little Janie anyway 
Seems he was drunk 
They had a fight 
Janie got hurt and they took him away 

He was the only one, who ever really knew 
He was the only one, what can we do 
He was the only one, he always showed us how 
He was the only one, where is he now 

I can still see him standing there 
Just like yesterday 
Leaning on a '56 
Giving his secrets away 
Is it any wonder 
I feel a little lonely 
He's not just the only one 
He's the one and only 

I heard about the accident 
There's not much left to say 
He wandered out in the middl of the freeway 
It must have happened right away 
And I though about what a shame it was 
Now that it's all said and done 
And it may sound strange 
But even now 
He's still the only one 

He was the only one, who ever really knew 
He was the only one, what can we do 
He was the only one, he always showed us how 
He was the only one, where is he now
