One thing Lyrics

Why do I have to keep walking

With this monkey on my back

All that I've ever wanted

Was to follow a conventional track

Why do I make it so awkward

Just about all of the time

If you look at it from sideways on

There seems no reason or rhyme

It's here with me all the time

If there's one thing that I could do with it's just to be understood

Then one thing should lead to another and surely that would be good

One thing that's all that I ask for so tell me what do you say

Why don't you give it some thought and let the monkey climb down and stumble away

Why do I have to keep working

With this one-ton weight pulling me down

Seems like I'm dragging my knuckles

In front of me on the ground

What would it take to release this

To make me feel like I belong

I'm fed up with all of these symptoms

And fed up with just feeling wrong

Living the words of a song

If there's one thing that I could do with it's just to be understood

And then one thing it should lead to another and surely that would be good

One thing that's all that I ask for so tell me what do you say

Why don't you give it some thought and let the monkey climb down and stumble away

One day you'll hold out your hand and extend it

Who knows who knows

You write the rule and I'll try not to bend it

Who knows who knows

Oh it could be the start of a brand new friendship

Who knows who knows

Who knows who knows
