Just One of Many

Much like Greta Garbo
You want to be Alone
You claim that you are happy
being on your own.
To be in love makes you uneasy
Physical fun's your priority.
Just one of many
is what you want from me.
Just one of many
so you can remain free.
Just one of many 
is what you want from me.

You've planned your life with the design
that in your heart no one is mine.
You mention often
I'm just one of many
You mention often no one is 
special to you.
You mention often
I'm just one of many.
One of many seems better
than just one of two.

Somehow your heart's been awakened
by a one of many brand  new.
Love has found You
Congratulations,
I'm happy for you;
But First Runner Up's not
what I wanted  to do.
Often you've mentioned
I'm just one of many.
Of women in this life
you have had plenty.
Often you've mentioned 
I'm just one of many
One of many it somehow
seems better it's true
than to discover that
I'm now just one of two.

You say you're not ready to just set me free.
You're falling for her but you're happy with me.
A couple is two it can never be three.
One of many you told me and 
that I could be.
One of many in this case
seems better to me.
I was here first  and
second place out of two
Is something I'm just
not willing to do.

Often you mentioned
I'm just one of many.
Plans for our future 
I didn't have any.
Lovers embracing all we could do.
This situation 
 I could pursue.
But somehow my darling 
one of two
just won't do.
One of many's much better
Than to be second place
in a situation where
I'm just one out of two.

  1. Couldn't have been better timed if you'd been here in London with me for the last two years. I was that man but I'm choosing to be one of one. It's hard not to share yourself physically without love being part of it. I miss my one of many and it's only been days, I hurt her so much by saying there was no future, without her i'm alone but not lonely.
    If I was going to be someone's one of two it would have to be her.

  2. I have a feeling we would have much to discuss if ever we had the opportunity.
