One word, one heart, one night, is all I want
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me;

Midnight, and all is well
I hear the mission bell
Out on the road, nothing is moving
As I speed from town to town;

Two hearts are beating fast
But they are still many miles apart
Oh the mood was shining on a distant shore
Burning like a fire in my heart
I've got to see her, I've got to say -

One word, one heart, one night, is all I want
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me
I never knew I cared so much before
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I'm going to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
Like a cannonball...

Headlights are blazing through
Turn on the radio, I hear the news
Hand on the wheel, foot on the floor
And on, and on, and on we go
This car is like a friend
Bring her the message that I want to send
Oh the dawn was breaking and I saw the sun
Burning like a fire on the bay
I'm nearly there now, I'm gonna say -
One word, one heart, one night, is all I want
One word, one heart, one girl, is waiting there for me
I never knew I cared so much before
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
Like a cannonball...

One word, (yes,) one heart
One night, (yes,) one girl, (yes,)
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
I've got to give her my love - straight to the heart
I've got to give her my love - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her myself - straight to the heart
I've got to tell her tonight - straight to the heart
Like a cannonball...
