Lyrics
One by One (male version) Verse 1 This was to be the big day in my life I was to take her as my wife This was to be the last day of pretend But she messed it all with my best friend Verse 2 He promised me that he’d take care of things Like flowers and cars and weddin’ rings But when they met he turned her pretty head And I found them both in my bed Chorus I didn’t mean to kill them there and then I don’t remember reaching for my gun But they both laughed when they saw my tears So I shot them one by one Verse 3 I went on trial and the judge he said to me “I realise you couldn’t take no more But I can’t believe that you could be so cruel As to leave them lyin’ dyin’ on the floor”. Verse 4 This was to be the big day in my life I was to take her as my wife But instead, I’m sitting in this chair Waitin’ for it all to end right here Chorus End One by one (repeat 3 times) © 1999 Laurence Wright, 10 Ivyale Drive, Leigh, WN7 2TF, England Tel +44 (0)1942 602349 e-mail: wrightmusic@blueyonder.co.uk Web: http://www.wright4310.freeserve.co.uk
