The Only Ones - Melody Club

He was always the toughest kid

But he never meant no harm

But lookin' back, I can see his fate

Was tattooed on his arm

Walkin' 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 and real wasted

As he bummed a cigarette

And I asked him what he’d been doin'

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 standin' there, just like yesterday

Leanin' on a '56, givin' 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 thought 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?

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?
