When you're looking around
What are you hoping to find?
I'm looking for the one, for the one love,
And the one life, for the right one &the best one,
& the best seat, & the one beat, in the deep heat.
And the right heart of the one man, & the right hand
in the best house, & the best game,
And the best name, and the best man.
But you're wasting your while, & you're missing the smile
I'm-a-giving it to you on a plate of gold,
Take me and leave what you can't afford.
I'm a giving it to you on a plate of words,
Rhythm is kicking & flipping my chords.
I'm looking for the one call, & the deep fall,
& the rise back, & the right track,
& the best way, on the best day,
& the right time, & the best rhyme,
& best babe with the best line, of the bass line
& the right dress on the prime aisle, & the one ass, & the one lie.
You gotta seize the opportunities you're given, to be even,
though the price you paid will never be forgotten nor forgiven
