One Thing lyrics

I met the man, when I was fifteen

Seen him in all the papers, on T.V. and magazines

So I had to ask him, what's the difference between

Those who make a wish, those who spin wheels

And those who ride in white limosines like you, mister

Won't you tell me one thing

Some have the passion and they control the ride

Some settle for whatever happens

As years pass they see their lives just slip on by

The world keeps a' turnin'

It'll leave you behind

Nothin' else matters, nothin's worth learnin'

Until the dream you have inside

(Chorus)

It's the one thing, the one thing there's no denyin'

So find yourself a dream and some piece of mind

'Cause money and power won't buy it

It's the one thing, nothin' else matters

And somewhere you might have heard the good times are through

And good luck is somethin' you're born with

I know it just ain't true

The world keeps a' turnin'

I wouldn't tell you no lie

Nothin' else matters, nothin's worth learnin'

Until the dream that you have inside

(Repeat chorus)

Nothin' else matters
