The Only One Lyrics


Elle King The Only One

[Verse 1]
I've lost count of who's still cursin' my name
Don't you waste your time 'cause I'm probably to blame
Well, I know how easy it is to give up on someone like me
So forgive me if I'm coming off rude, but it's the only way I can be

[Chorus]
Well, as desperation falls right off of my tongue
I'm begging not to be the only one
Please don't let me be the only one
The only one that everyone leaves

[Verse 2]
Wise men say, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em"
Well, I had a shot at love, but chose the bottle and I lost him
I bet that even devil gets lonely, that's why he's in such a bad mood
But I ain't got, ain't got no one to hold me
That's why I've been such a mean ol' fool

[Chorus]
Well, as desperation falls right off of my tongue
I'm begging not to be the only one
Please don't let me be the only one

Well, as desperation falls right off of my tongue
I'm begging not to be the only one
Please don't let me be the only one
The only one that everyone leaves

[Outro]
That everyone leaves
