ONLY YOU
Gene Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1]
Only you have the answers
But the questions you have to find
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 2]
Only you know the secrets
But the truth lies deep in your mind
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
Only you are the answer
You turn the night into day - yeah
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
[Rhy. Fig 3] (4x)
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
I wanna know
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
I can't believe this is is true
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2]
Why do I listen to you
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
If I am all that you say
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2]
Why am I still so afraid
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ End 1 and Rhy. Fig 5b w/ End 1] (2x)
Only you! Only you!
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ End 2 and Rhy. Fig 5b w/ End 2]
Only you!
[Rhy. Fig 6]
In every age
In every time
A hero is born
As if by a grand design
