One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one it's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number that'll you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes
Of yesterday
Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
One is the loneliest number, one is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, much much worse than two
One is a number divided by two
(Life isn't easy when two are divided and one has decided to bring down the curtain
and on things for certain there's nothing to keep them together)
[the last phrase of lyrics is from the Harry Nilsson song "Together" from the same
LP on which "One" appeared as a remix; _Aerial Pandemonium Ballet_, a mix of 2
earilier LP's, _Aerial Ballet_ and _Pandemonium Shadow Show_. On this version he
did a similar segue, incorporating phrases from "One" in "Together", the opposite
of what Aimee Mann did here.]
