My One and Only

Intro

Mmm, mmm (sha-bop)

Sun on the sidewalk, slow like syrup

Cup in my hand — cold brew without the creamer, yeah

Uh-huh, ooh, ooh

Verse

We sittin' on the stoop, laughin' at old jokes

Neighbors sweep the morning, the sax plays low

My girls pass a photo, they grin and they poke

Sayin' "Who's the one? Who makes you glow?" (who, who)

I sip that dark and honest, no foam, no disguise

Talkin' 'bout the heartbeat I see in his eyes

Jazzy hood harmonies and the pigeons in flight

Everything feels sideways, everything feels right

Pre-chorus

Soft snaps from a snare, the kettle hums along

We trade little secrets like a favorite song (yeah)

And when I say his name the corner turns to gold

Tiny town parade in a story told (ooh)

Chorus

He's my one and only — my one and only (my one)

He's my one and only — my one and only (oh-oh)

Mmm, sip it slow, baby, let the morning roll

He's my one and only — my one and only (na-na)

He's my one and only — my one and only (yeah, yeah)

Verse

The barista nods, she knows our kind of love

She writes a heart on the cup, like it's nothin' to do

We talk about the first date, the way he held his glove

How he stole my coat and kept the rest of me too

A saxophone winks from a porch down the block

Kids play hopscotch to a cymbal knock

My friend says, "Girl, you got that vintage kind of run"

I laugh, tilt my head, say, "He’s the only one"

Pre-chorus

Light drips through the awning, the world takes a breath

We hum little harmonies about what comes next (mhm)

And every time I speak his name the alley hums along

Like a chorus in a movie, like a midnight song (ooh)

Chorus

He's my one and only — my one and only (my one)

He's my one and only — my one and only (oh-oh)

Mmm, sip it slow, baby, let the morning roll

He's my one and only — my one and only (sha-la)

He's my one and only — my one and only (yeah, yeah)

Bridge

Walk with me down to the corner where the record spins

We step in time, two-step game, our little twin grins

Skies like apricot jam, slow and easy spread

You hum low, I hum low, and the world turns red

(la-la-la) (woah) (la-la-la)

Chorus

He's my one and only — my one and only (my one)

He's my one and only — my one and only (oh-oh)

Mmm, sip it slow, baby, let the morning roll

He's my one and only — my one and only (na-na)

He's my one and only — my one and only (yeah, yeah)

Outro

Mmm, mmm (sha-bop) — my one and only

Cold cup, warm hands, we keep the day holy

Ooh, ooh (uh-huh) — yeah
