"Walkin' One And Only" lyrics - MARIA MULDAUR

Some folks think it's cool to have some kind of lover
He don't believe it's true, 'cause he just found another
And when you see him, you might see him on the street
He walks with rhythm, 'cause he's got some kind of beat

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
He clicks his heels a bit
His suit's a perfect fit
He knocks 'em out, and though he seems alone
Somebody wants him on the phone
They wanna shout

[Chorus 1:]
He's a walkin' one and only
And they're callin' him by name
He won't be leavin' town 'til he can cop some fame
They don't know what it takes, but it's the reason why
The girls all smile at him as he goes walkin' by

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
His walkin' ain't too fast
He wants that thing to last
Ain't into losin', and though he seems alone
Somebody wants him on the phone
Knows what he's doin'

[Chorus 2:]
He's a walkin' one and only
And you know that he's on fire
Don't try to warn me girl, 'cause he's my heart's desire
You take your heroes and you put them up beside him
It's no contest as the one and only rides in, ride in

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Walkin' one and only, and they're callin' him by name
He won't be leavin' town 'til he can cop some fame
His walkin' ain't too fast
He wants that thing to last
Ain't into losin', and though he seems alone
Somebody wants him on the phone
Knows what he's doin'

[Chorus 2:]
He's a walkin' one and only
And you know that he's on fire
Don't try to warn me girl, 'cause he's my heart's desire
You take your heroes and you put them up beside him
It's no contest as the one and only rides in, ride in
