Lyrics I'll Be The One - Boz Scaggs

I'll Be The One

Tired of seeing some play thing
Acting like a toy
Tired of watching some fool
Trying to be your boy
And I don’t like to be the one
Seeing you in tears
Standing in the shadows
Staring out at love again
But I’ll be the one
I’m the one reminding you
That you’ve got a choice
I’m the one to let you know
That I hear your voice
Time and again I catch you
Smiling from within
But standing empty hearted
Standing in the wings again
I’ll be the one
I can’t be the one to catch you
Every time you fall
I ain’t the one to answer
Every time you call
But babe I’m gonna be the one
One to see you through it all
Oh oh I’ll be the one
I’m the one reminding you
That you’ve got a choice
I’m the one to let you know
That I hear your voice
Time and again I catch you
Smiling from within
Standing empty hearted
Standing in the wings again
I’ll be the one
I can’t be the one to catch you
Every time you fall
I ain’t gonna be the answer
Every time you call
But babe I’m gonna be the one
The one to see you through it all
Oh oh I’ll be the one
Oh oh I’ll be the one
I’ll be the one to get you home
Smiling from within
Standing in the wings again
I’m tired of seeing some play thing
Acting like a toy
Running round in circles
Wearing out your name
Tired of watching some fool
Play the same old game
I’ll be the one to get you home
When all the rest have gone away
Oooh hoo hoo hoo I’ll be the one
