The Only Thing

(With Susanna Hoffs)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, listen
La, la, la, la, la, la, listen to me
I'm reminiscing, reminiscing
And I'm missing
How it used to be

They say when it hits you
You'll know that it's true
You'll know cause you feel it
Ooh, ooh, ooh

When I held you
It was the only thing
Only thing
All I knew
Was you were everything
Everything

You are the record
In the record shop
Nobody wants to buy
You are the metaphor, the metaphor
The meta for the other guy

You call when you need it
You're nobody's fool
You take it, I leave it
Ooh, ooh, ooh

When I held you
It was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew
Was you were everything
Everything

Don't lend me your heart
You'll only tear it apart
Apart
Apart
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

When I held you
It was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew
Was you were everything
Everything

When I held you
It was the only thing
Only thing
So why am I blue?
