(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
There's a heartache, come over me
Can't be imagination

I worry and I cry for you
Guess I'll have to learn to live with it
A heartache hauntin' me

Feels like electrocution
I'm hurt, you never understood
One word, one word


Who are you, sittin' on your throne
I used to be a slave in your temple

Now you tell me that you're so alone
On the run for your life
One look through the eyes of a stranger

One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better


Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth

There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One word, makes all a difference in the world

One word
One is being born
Two is what you're going for

Three is the price you pay
For what you've been lookin' for
And the word is love, love

One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine

Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better

Do now, do now what you wanna do

Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home


One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool

One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better
One word, makes all a difference in the world

Make one hell of a difference in the world
One word, one single word
