Blondie Background Melody (the Only One) Lyrics

Background Melody (the Only One) Lyrics

I know what I'm made of, of what's inside of me

Maybe science, maybe giants, maybe just a mystery

Maybe the mother of invention is really intensity

And baby when they made you, I was the background melody

A partner to the feeling, now you're a part of me



So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares

The only one who sees the only one who dreams

Be the only one who tries, the only one who cries

Be the only one for me, for me



Don't think I'm fantasizing, I didn't make it up

Lots of people tell me things, things about their love

How the music that was playing low, how they made you in the afterglow

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



So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares

The only one to dance, the one who takes a chance

Be the only one who's real, the only one who feels

Be the only one who loves



You may think I'm egocentric

But I'm only centered some of the time

I want you to remember

I wanna be the tune you can't get out of your mind



I wasn't there to see the pressure drop, I didn't do the momma and pop

Ooh 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?

Oh baby when they made you, I was the background melody



So be the only one who cares, the only one who dares

The only one who sees, the only one who dreams

Be the only one who tries, the only one who cries

Be the only one for me, for me
