I'm looking into the eyes of someone whose heart's been broken a thousand times,
I see the pain, it's not fair that you're sad, in fact I think it's a crime,
Who did this? A lot of stupid gentlemen with no idea of a true love life,
They were hollow, but let me tell you I am not,

CHORUS
I'd like to be the one you can depend upon,
And I'd like to make your dreams reality,
I want you to take my hand, and tell me truly,
You wanna spend your life with me, I'll never be a thousand and one,

You keep saying, please don't hurt me, but not to me directly,
Dismaying, is what you've been doing for too long, yet it seems you cannot see,
I'm right here, waiting to hear the words or say them, who's gonna crack first?
In the end, if you wanna be loved, I am all you've got,

CHORUS
I'd like to be the one you can depend upon,
And I'd like to make your dreams reality,
I want you to take my hand, and tell me truly,
You wanna spend your life with me, I'll never be a thousand and one,

(Keys solo, guitar solo)

Is it clear now, that I am in love with you? What will be your response?
This could be tragic, especially if you tell me you've got all you want,
'Cause I wouldn't believe you, I'd see right through the lie, if it comes to that,
So I hope you'll respond in kind, 'cause anyone better is gonna be hard to find,

CHORUS
I'd like to be the one you can depend upon,
And I'd like to make your dreams reality,
I want you to take my hand, and tell me truly,
You wanna spend your life with me, I'll never be a thousand and one,
(I'd like to, I'd like to, I'd like to be the one) x4

They were hollow, but let me tell you I am not.
