Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
(Na na naii)

Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
(Yo)

It was nothing but a quick thing
Kids games, kiss chase, just a quick fling
Now I'm hoping you never go missing
Now I'm telling you, you can hold this ring
Watch how it glistens

It was done as quick as the wind blows
Didn't think I would ever be involved
So I even wrote a song called, 'Don't Go'
Now it's just you and me on a love row

Dappy like Dino us two tip toes duck dive get low
And now I care less about who knows
Now we're deep in way past intro
Dappy explain yo

See never did I think a boy like me would be in need
When all I really wanted was to have some fun
Now I'm losing my head
I'm telling you one thing you're number one

See I don't understand how you're number one
When it was just a fling before now, you're the one
See all I did was blink twice
From my homie to my only number one

Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh
Ah uh uh oh

Yo, it was all now, never planned no after
It was like games jokes laughter
Live for the moment, left it all open
Now I'm in deep, flames, lava, breathe, karma

And now I'm stating
See I never saw this in my daydream
It's really you that I'm fully rating
And the days here no more waiting

Pay it all wise to the smart man raised him
I was so hurt, pain, aching on the wrong path
Then a good girl saved him
That's why I'm letting her know she's amazing

See never did I think a boy like me would be in need
When all I really wanted was to have some fun
Now I'm losing my head
I'm telling you one thing you're number one

See I don't understand how you're number one
When it was just a fling before now, you're the one
See all I did was blink twice
From my homie to my only number one

You lift me off the ground
I always want you around
I ain't gonna let nothing get in the way
I'll never let nothing get in the way

You lift me off the ground
I always want you around
I ain't gonna let nothing get in the way
I'll never let nothing get in the way

Yo, I ain't never gonna let nothing get in the way
You play your cards all right, you're on A's
You make my nights so bright you're my days
You took me out of the maze, you are number one

See I don't understand how you're number one
When it was just a fling before now you're the one
See all I did was blink twice
From my homie to my only number one

You lift me off the ground
I always want you around
I ain't gonna let nothing get in the way
I'll never let nothing get in the way

You lift me off the ground
I always want you around
I ain't gonna let nothing get in the way
I'll never let nothing get in the way

You're number one, you're in the race, you're a leader
Girl, you're out of this world, I can't see ya
And now you got a place in my heart
It's funny how you actually went from my homie to my only number one
