One For One - Stone Poneys, Linda Ronstadt

If I hadn’t grown with you

And if half my life had been spent

When we came together

Would it be different

Are you any more like you

Though I know that I’ve asked before

I’m sure there’re quite a few like me

Why should I be different

Is it true that there’s just one for one like I’ve been told

So hard to tell truth from lies

With young eyes of innocence

The glass slipper, the prince’s kiss

They make no difference

I thought I knew what I knew

I thought that I knew what they meant

So so soon too late I realize

A meaning so different

Is it true that there’s just one for one like I’ve been told

The highway ends at the iron fence

Where the diesel trucks march by

The sounds of living can make no sense

When they make no difference

Wooden boxes cause a throne

The hollow faces beneath the stone

And all the blank ones on their way home

I see no difference

Is it true that there’s just one for one like I’ve been told
