    Lyrics
    Sitting in my room last night
    Staring at the mirror
    I couldn't find a reason why
    I couldn't be near her

    'Cause you are the one that started
    To make me feel this way
    And every night I'm thinking
    About the words you'd say

    Pictures going through my mind
    When we're together
    All these long and sleepless nights
    Will I ever get better

    'Cause you are the one that started
    To make me feel this way
    And every night I'm thinking
    About the words you'd say
    'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT

    Now you know how I feel
    This love is forever
    You make my life seem so unreal
    Will I ever get better?

    'Cause you are the one that started
    To make me feel this way
    And every night I'm thinking
    About the words you'd say
    'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT
