Tenille Townes - Holding Out For The One Lyrics

Tenille Townes Lyrics

"Holding Out For The One"

Holding out for the one
Holding out for the one

Another party, another late crowd
We got the music turned up all the way loud
Another "hey girl", another lean-in
Another "here we go, welcome to the weekend"

"Hey baby, whatcha drinkin'?"
Like I don't know what you're thinkin'
Same damn lines every time

All the boys say "Hey, take a ride with me
Oh, pretty little thing, stay the night with me"
I say hey, I don't think you understand
I'm not the girl with her high heels in her hand
In last night's little black party dress
Yeah, maybe I'm a little bit different I guess
But I ain't giving my heart to just anyone
I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one
I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one

I'm gonna know it when I feel it
Yeah, he's gonna give me somethin' to believe in
Won't have to tell me, he's gonna show me
He's gonna take his sweet time to get to know me, mmm
I know he's out there somewhere and it gets me through

When the boys say "Hey, take a ride with me
Oh, pretty little thing, stay the night with me"
I say hey, I don't think you understand
I'm not the girl with her high heels in her hand
In last night's little black party dress
Yeah, maybe I'm a little bit different I guess
But I ain't giving my heart to just anyone, no
I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one
I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one
I'm holding out, yeah

"Hey baby, whatcha drinkin'?"
Like I don't know what you're thinkin'
Same damn lines every time

All the boys say "Hey, take a ride with me
Pretty little thing, stay the night with me"
I say I don't think you understand
I'm not the girl with her high heels in her hand
In last night's little black party dress
Yeah, maybe I'm a little bit different I guess
But I ain't giving my heart to just anyone
I'm holding out for the one (Yeah, yeah)
Holding out for the one
I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one
Oh, oh, I'm holding out for the one
Holding out for the one
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Holding out for the one
I'm holding out for the one
