Two
by: LenkaTwo, now that I'm with you
Another point of view
Instead of what I knew
Oh two, whatever will do
I don't see a way through
But your the one I choose
I never knew what double could do
But things are better, so much better
Hold me closer never let me go
I don't want any other, baby
Two is the one, two is the one
I was lonely never had nobody
But now I've got double, baby
Two is the one, two is the one for me
One, never had so much fun
Staying up till sun
Bangin' on my own drum
One, Always looking for love
And ending up with none
Made come true undone
I never knew what double could do
But things are better, so much better with two
Chorus
Two, a couple not a few
Well this is something new
If a can deal with it then so can you
I never knew what double could do
