How can I show?
There's no comparison

One man in my house
One man in my bed
Oh la la la oh la la la

Longer than time
More fiery than the sun

Among oblivion
Or should I lie?
So you can cry
In your sleep tonight

And when we meet
Oh oh oh la la la
Your kiss so sweet
The things we choose
The things we choose
The life we use
The life we use
The things you say
All the things you say
The need to stay
And the need to stay
One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oh la la la oh la la la
One man in my heart
One man in my house
One man in my bed
Oh la la la oh la la la
I've got one man one man
One man in my
