You’re one of a kind
I gotta have ya
Well you’re one of a kind
I need to have ya

Right from the start
You tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart

You’re one of a kind
You’ve got magic
I know you’re one of a kind
Baby you’re static

Right from the start
You tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart

Right from the start
You tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
You took me out of control
You stole the best part of my heart
