The One

The One



So I find a reason to shave my legs

Each single morning

So I count on someone on Friday nights

To take me dancing again

To church on Sundays

To plant more trees

And someday think of kids

Or maybe just save a little money



[Chorus:]

You're the one I need

The way back home is always long

But if you're close to me I'm holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begun

Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun



In the world full of strangers

You're the one I know



So I learned to cook and finally lose

My kitchen phobia

And so I got the arms to cuddle in

When there's a ghost or a news

That brings insomnia

To buy more thongs

To write more happy songs

It always takes a little help from someone



[Chorus 2X]



You're the one I need

You're the one I need



You're my real life has just begun



You're the one I need

You're the one I need



Nothing like your smile made of sun



Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love









我很愛這首歌

不只是因為它很紅、很流行

就是有一種"唱到心坎裡"的感覺

（2001年收錄於Laundry Service）

就連合聲都很喜歡

會讓我想收藏三張以上的唱片

（是Shakira進軍英語系國家的首張專輯，

另收錄有Objection(Tango)、Underneath your clothes）

不過我覺得這首歌的ＭＶ拍得不怎麼樣

還是聽歌就好









PS.雖然這首歌很受歡迎

但Shakira幾乎不在公開場合演唱

詞曲創作幾乎都由她一手包辦

整張專輯幾乎都在描寫她戀愛的心情

（哈　愛情是大賣點）

雖然歌詞很平凡　卻讓我...嗯...就是很喜歡









某友說，要在一輩子找到真心相愛的人很不容易

但是

相愛的人卻不一定都能永遠在一起

其實愛不愛的

有時候很痛苦也很麻煩

激烈到捶心肝也止不了的心痛

或是隔了好幾十年依然停不了的愛戀

（白先勇《台北人》中，"花橋榮記"寫得很精采）









當你不再年輕

身旁如果有個攜手共行的人

或是有一段想起依然想哭或覺得甜蜜的回憶

大概都是幸福的









"I've loved, I loved, and I'm still loving"

忘了是哪位舞蹈家的遺言

如果放棄去愛

將錯失多少精采

是嗎?









如果成長使我們不再有勇氣

有時候還真希望一輩子都保有青春的無知和魯莽
