One Note Samba
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
This new one is just the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you
There're some many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing
So I come back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Ré mi fá sol lá si dó
He will find himself with no show
Better play your single note
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
This new one is just the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you
There're some many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing
So I come back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Ré mi fá sol lá si dó
He will find himself with no show
Better play your single note
