Lyrics
It’s criminal how women’ll worry a man
Who lets them disturb all his slumbers
I never would, no, never could follow the plan
That there is more safety in numbers
Refrain
All I want is just one girl
But I have to have one girl
I could really use more
Even three or four
But one is enough
All I want is just one moon
Tho’ there only is one moon
That is plenty for me
Just as long as he is doin’ his stuff
All I want is just one word
That little word “Yes”
From a certain sweet some one
I’m eager to press to my heart
All I want is just one kiss
And I have to have one kiss
Yes, all I want is one, all I want is one
For a start
Refrain
All I want is just one chair
Just a comfy old armchair
And a little “ba-bee”
Cuddled up to me
So cosy and warm
All I want is just one light
I could do without one light
It’s a bother to me
But it seems to be a Matter of “form”
All I want is just one arm
Around a slim waist
But the way that my two arms
Are going to waste is a crime
All I want is just one girl
And I have to have one girl
But all I want is one, all I want is one
At a time
