U've Only Got 1 Lyrics - Singles - Tamyra Gray

(T. Gray/ Eg White) 

Here's a story that I wanna tell 

Bout a guy I used to know so well 

Who lived his life so carelessly 

The most popular boy in school 

Who would've thought he'd fall the victim too 

When his future seemed so promising 

Some say he came from the perfect home 

A family with money 

There was love like I have never known 

He let the shadows pour through his heart 

Poisoned his veins he got lost 

Now he's runnin 

You know u've only got 

Chorus 

1 life, 1 life 2 live 

U've got 2 wake up 

B4 u miss out on it 

U've only got 1 chance 

1 chance to be 

And that's all u've got 2 

Fulfill ur destiny 

U've got 2 love urself 

Love urself 

Love urself 

There was this friend of mine 

She lived a really lonely life 

She never thought she was good enough 

Such a beautiful silhouette 

But I'm ugly is what she said 

She didn't know the value of her worth 

Some say her father's the one to blame 

He loved her in ways she never told 

Little girls should never know 

She ran away just to save her soul 

Escape from the painful memories 

She's still runnin 

U know u've only got 1 

Chorus 

No one can have a perfect life 

2 live u have 2 survive 

U gotta take the good with the bad 

And the bitter with the sweet 

Life can be so sweet 

But first u gotta find the peace 

Ur inner joy is yours alone 

But first u've got 2 love urself 

Chorus
