    The Right One

    by: Statler Brothers

    Holdin' you my spirits go up high
    But I've got a lot to learn
    Lovin' you is playing with fire
    And I might get my fingers burned
    If I'm not the right one for you, baby
    Don't keep me in the cloud too long
    But try to let me down, kind of easy
    When the right one comes along
    Kissin' you is askin' for trouble
    I might find my trouble soon
    Lovin' you is courtin' destruction
    Like playin' games with my own due
    If I'm not the right one for you, baby
    Don't let me build my home too strong
    But try to break it to me gently
    When the right one comes along
