[Verse 1]
I saw you last evening
In a shop on the King's Road
Looking through the window
Just as it was going to close
Our eyes met for an instant
And then you were gone
And all that evening I couldn't stop myself from thinking:
"Well... oh, were you The One?"

[Chorus]
We keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
That someone who will be The One
Are you The One? Are you The One?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "Boom!"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one else

[Verse 2]
You sat next to me in the cinema
You walked past me in the snow
I kissed you once by a cigarette-machine
As the club was about to close
But each time you looked different:
Your face, your body and your hair
I've collected you in installments for sometime now
Over years and years
[Chorus]
Yeah, we keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
That someone who will be The One
Are you The One? Are you The One?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "Boom!"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one
No-one else

[Bridge]
I don't know who I'm fooling
But I guess it gives me something to do
Something to do, something to do
It's been going on so long now
Well, how am I ever gonna know if it's really you?
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, we keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
That someone who will be The One
Are you The One? Are you The One?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "Boom!"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one
No-one else
[Outro]
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no no no no no no
No-one else
No-one else
