I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one The lonely one One chance intervention, see what it can signify The slightest misapprehension, baby And we'd have passed each other by When I heard your sweet voice callin' Saw your light come shinin' through I couldn't stop my heart from turning Churnin' out my love for you I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one That lonely one True love or perfection It seems like it's overdue Then just when you least expect it It comes sneakin' up on you When I thought that I was dreaming Felt your body close to mine Now love takes on a different meaning Together till the end of time I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one When I saw your face, through the web of my confusion Whisperin' that I was not the only one The lonely one, oh the lonely one, ooh baby Not the only one I'm not the only one I'm not the only, only, only one, baby, ooh I am not the only one
