I want you to remember
You may think I'm egocentric
So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares
Ooh baby when they made you, I was the background melody
Maybe the mother of invention is really intensity
Don't think I'm fantasizing, I didn't make it up
I wanna be the tune you can't get out of your mind
Lots of people tell me things, things about their love
The only one who sees, the only one who dreams
I wasn't there to see the pressure drop, I didn't do the momma and pop
Be the only one who's real, the only one who feels
So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares
Be the only one who tries, the only one who cries
And baby when they made you, I was the background melody
Was it the lady or the tiger? Who was the bottom, who was the top?
I didn't see 'em do the body rock, I didn't feel the after shocks
But baby when they made you, I was the background melody
Be the only one who loves
How the music that was playing low, how they made you in the afterglow
Be the only one for me, for me
Be the only one who tries, the only one who cries
So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares
A partner to the feeling, now you're a part of me
The only one to dance, the one who takes a chance
But I'm only centered some of the time
The only one who sees the only one who dreams
Oh baby when they made you, I was the background melody
