Lyrics[]
You said you loved me
But you wrote in the sand
The things that you did to me
I just don't understand
And when you need my trust
And you call out my name
'Cause when I give up in life
Feeling sorrow and pain
But now, run away!
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
Oh, one in the world
I tried every word of love to say how I feel
But I'm up against the wall 'cause you don't think they're real
Now you've seen me escape
And you dare ask me why
Tell mе your love is strong
And a hundred more liеs
But now, it's much too late!
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
Oh, one in this world
Yeah
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
You have to realize, girl
You're not the only one in this world
Oh, one in this world
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Not the only one in this world
No, no, whoa-oh, one in this world
