uploaded this so mary could hear the first version. lyrics:

i'm about ready to swear off boys for a long, long time
cause either they insult me, or make me lose my mind
i've been told to wait for 'the one' to come along
well, did he get lost? why's he taking so long?

i've got a list, of course

youth group boy with a quirky smile
plays guitar and reads his bible
nice hair, plaid shirts, been on a missions trip
volunteers at church camp, and i'm not done yet
all the girls have a crush on him
but he's waiting for the one that God tells him to go after
oh, he's the classic cookie-cutter

i'm so sick of this illusion
that compatibility's a once-in-a-lifetime thing
aren't i allowed to be free?
you can tell me to wait or just who to date
but at this point, you're a broken record to me
cause instead of having fun,
i've been stuck waiting for 'the one'.

The One (v.1)

number one: recite a poem. (my voice sounds really bad i'm sorry)
