You Are My Number One lyrics

(co-written by Neil Diamond)



Hold me down

I`m gonna fly straight to heaven

Hold me down

Dont ever let go

I`ve been around

You know I can`t stay forever

And when I leave

I want you to know -



When I`m finally gone, I`m gonna be gone without a trace

There`s a lot of good times ahead before we`re done

And on top of this list of things before I leave this place

You are my number one, yes you are my number one



Cause you can tell me lies, you know that I`d still believe you (say what?)

Stay right here dont leave from that spot (come right back here my girl)

I can`t go, you know I`m afraid to leave you

Don`t you know? you`re all that I`ve got

I`m afread if you go you might disappear behind a mist

And I`d rather be hung from a tree or shot by a gun

And of all of these things that matter here upon my list

You are my number one, yes you are my number one



You are my number one (say so)

Trying to make it clear (good gosh)

Trying to let you know

When you`re afraid

I`m gonna be there...



When I`m finally gone, I`m gonna be gone without a trace

There`s a lot of good times ahead before we`re done

And and and on top of this list of things before i leave this place

You are my number one

Yeah you are my number one

Whoa baby, said you are my number one

You are my number one
