You’re the only one that’s ever understood
You’re the only one that makes the bad times good
You’re the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You’re the only one that heals me with your smile.

And I smile to think you love me
And to feel you need me too
As for me I know where I’ll be
I’ll be where I’m loving you.

You’re the only one that’s ever understood
You’re the only one that makes the bad times good
You’re the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You’re the only one that heals me with your smile.

Oh, I’d die if you should leave me
Here alone I’d be so blue
So believe me when I tell you
That my life is loving you.

You’re the only one that’s ever understood
You’re the only one that makes the bad times good
You’re the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You’re the only one that heals me with your smile.

You’re the only one that helps me make that extra mile
You’re the only one that heals me with your smile…
