  • Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
    'Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
    I tore it apart
    And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
    And no woman in the world deserves this
    But here I am asking you for one more chance

    Can we fall, one more time?
    Stop the tape and rewind
    Oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade
    'Cause there is nobody else

    It's gotta be you
    Only you
    It's gotta be you
    Only you

    Now girl I hear it in your voice and how it trembles
    When you speak to me I don't resemble, who I was
    You've almost had enough
    And your actions speak louder than words
    And you're about to break from all you've heard
    Don't be scared, I ain't going no where

    I'll be here, by your side
    No more fears, no more crying
    But if you walk away
    I know I'll fade
    'Cause there is nobody else

    It's gotta be you
    Only you
    It's gotta be you
    Only you

    Oh girl, can we try one more, one more time?
    One more, one more, can we try?
    One more, one more time
    I'll make it better
    One more, one more, can we try?
    One more, one more,
    Can we try one more time to make it all better?

    'Cause its gotta be you
    Its gotta be you
    Only you
    Only you

    It's gotta be you
    Only you
    It's gotta be you
    Only you Writer/s: AUGUST RIGO, STEVE MAC
