You’re the Only One I Ever Needed Lyrics

Every time you talk about your love
We always end up in the deepest despair
Because you're so afraid you won't ever have enough
Even though I say it's gonna be there

You may not be good at taking chances
But don't be afraid to win or lose
You don't know who you want to romance with
And you wouldn't be feeling blue
If you knew what you put me through

You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for

Everywhere I look, I see you
And I do all I can to keep it that way
But even now when you're trying to believe me
A miracle of tears gets in the way

You may not be good at taking chances
But don't be afraid to win or lose
You don't know who you want to romance with
But you wouldn't be feeling blue
If you knew what you put me through
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for
You're the only one that I ever needed
You're the only one that I ever cared for

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
