I, I lost someone, a million to one

Ten thousand people under my Father's sun

We need someone, someone, the only one

Just that someone who needs someone under the sun

To care for, care for just that someone, oh hey

Now, I got somethin' I wanna tell everybody

Huh, I got somethin' I want everybody to understand now

You know, we all make mistakes sometime

And the only way we can correct our mistakes

We've got to try it one more time (One more time)

Now I got to sing this song for you one more time (One more time)

I want you to know, that I'm not singing this song

Only for myself now (Sing this song)

I'm not singing this song only for myself now (Sing this song)

I'm singing it for you too

And when I say something, when I say that little thing

It make you feel golden inside

I wanna hear you, sing that little problem

Might sting in your heart

Wanna hear you scream (Ow)

Don't just say "Aye", say "Aye!" (Aye)

Say "OW!" (Ow!), ow, hey-yeah

And I believe in what could be done [?]

Yeah, I want you to scream one more time (Ah)

Yeaaah, scream one more time, feels good to me now

I said, gettin' good to me now

OWW, yiiiieah, ha-haaw, feels good to me now

I feel good, wanna know what you do when you feel good

Sometimes just hum a little bit

I remember we used to come back, just, I said mmm (Ow)

Waaa-hey, mmm (Ow)

Oh, I hear you scream, and I believe I gotta come on over

Hey, yaaaa-ha-hey, yeah! I feel good, oh, I feel good
