One of Us

-Simon & Suzanne Stimson

INST. INTRO (4 bars)

Two of us
Just like black on white.
Opposites
Just like day and night.
Why can't we
Seem to work it out?
I'm so sor-ry. I've done wrong, yeah.

Two of us
Fight like dogs and cats.
Doncha know
It done drove us bats?
(We'll) Put an end
To our silly spats.
Please be-lieve me. I'm so sor-ry.

And one of us
Feels blue and lonely.
One of us
Wants you only.
And I think it's me.
Surely you'll agree (that)

The two of us
Though we're far apart
Know that we
Share a porcelain heart.
And both of us
Got a real bad start, so
Please for-give me, and be-friend me.

And one of us
Feels blue and lonely.
One of us
Wants you only.
And I think it's me.
Surely you'll agree.

INST VERSE Surely you'll agree (that)
The two of us
Have a misunderstanding.
Maybe I
Have been too demanding.
Let's come in
For a three-point landing.
Both of us can do it right, right now!
You turn black or I'll turn white, right now!
Let's be friends and never fight, right now!

One of us
Oh, two of us
Yeah, both of us!
