Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do me a favor
Won't you share what's on your mind?
I may not have the answer
But I can make it easier to find
Too many times you gave more than you took
Now I can show you things are better than they look
[Chorus]
You're number one (You're number one)
In my book
You're number one
[Verse 2]
Another chapter
Of a love that's yours and mine
This time we've got to capture
Things that should never be denied
My heart reads like a novel, and you'll find that I'm hooked
Just turn the page and take a closer look
[Chorus]
You're number one (You're number one)
In my book
You're number one
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
My number one
[Verse 3]
I know you're thinking
What do I want in return?
Well, you can rest easy
Your happiness is my only concern
It's rewarding now if I can make you feel good
There is just one thing I want clearly understood
[Chorus]
You're number one (You're number one)
In my book
You're number one
[Verse 4]
Too many times you gave more than you took
Now it's my turn to show things are better than they look
[Outro]
You're number one (You're number one)
You're number one (You're number one)
In my, in my book (You're number one)
You're number one
In my book
You're number one
I've got to tell you
You've got to know
You're number one
You're number one
Never number two
I wouldn't do that to you
You're number one (You're number one)
In my book
