Lyrics
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
I always knew you were the best
The coolest girl I know
So prettier than all the rest
The star of my show
So many times I wished
You'd be the one for me
But never knew you'd get like this
Girl what you do to me
You're who I'm thinking of
Girl you ain't my runner up
And no matter what you're always number one
My prize possession
One and only
Adore ya girl I want ya
The one I can't live without
That's you (that's you)

You're used to going out your way
To impress these Mr. Wrongs
But you can be yourself with me

Is a dream that can't be real
So girl let's write a fairytale
And show 'em how we feel
You're who I'm thinking of (of)
Girl you ain't my runner up (up)
And no matter what you're always number one
