The Only One Lyrics


He was always the toughest kid
But he never meant no harm
But lookin' back, I can see his fate
Was tattooed on his armWalkin' through the courtyard
Always there to be seen
He and little Janie
Together they were the king and queenHe was the only one who ever really knew
He was the only one, what can we do?
He was the only one, he always showed us how
He was the only one, where is he now?Three years later at the bus stop
I know I'll never forget
He looked smaller and real wasted
As he bummed a cigaretteAnd I asked him what he'd been doin'
And how's little Janie anyway
Seems he was drunk, they had a fight
Janie got hurt and they took him awayHe was the only one who ever really knew
He was the only one, what can we do?
He was the only one, he always showed us how

He was the only one, where is he now?I can still see him standin' there, just like yesterday
Leanin' on a '56, givin' his secrets away
Is it any wonder? I feel a little lonely
He's not just the only one, he's the one and onlyI heard about the accident
There's not much left to say
He wandered out in the middle of the freeway
It must have happened right awayAnd I thought about, what a shame it was
Now that it's all said and done
And it may sound strange
But even now, he's still the only oneHe was the only one who ever really knew
He was the only one, what can we do?
He was the only one, he always showed us how
He was the only one, where is he now?He was the only one who ever really knew
He was the only one, what can we do?
He was the only one, he always showed us how
He was the only one, where is he now?

Huey Lewis & the News is a Academy Award-nominated American rock band based in San Francisco, California. Their greatest success was in the 1980s, when they were one of the most popular music acts of the decade and released several gold and platinum albums. The band is known for writing simple, light-hearted songs from a working-class perspective and typically appealed to yuppies and baby boomers.

Combining a rock (and sometimes, a blues rock) backing with harmony vocals and Lewis's voice, Huey Lewis & the News had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s, including "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".

The track 'Hip to Be Square" features prominently in the 2000 movie "American Psycho", starring Christian Bale as serial killer Patrick Bateman. In both the film and the book it was based on, Bateman is a hardcore fan of the band.
