The Only One Lyrics - Picture This - Huey Lewis

He was always the toughest kid 

But he never meant no harm 

But looking back I could see his fate 

Was tattooed on his arm 

Walking through the courtyard 

Always there to be seen 

He and little Janie 

Together they were the king and queen 

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 

Three years later at the bus stop 

I know I'll never forget 

He looked smaller in real ways 

As he bummed a cigarette 

And I asked him what he'd been doing 

And how's little Janie anyway 

Seems he was drunk 

They had a fight 

Janie got hurt and they took him away 

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 

I can still see him standing there 

Just like yesterday 

Leaning on a '56 

Giving his secrets away 

Is it any wonder 

I feel a little lonely 

He's not just the only one 

He's the one and only 

I 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 away 

And I though 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 one 

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
