“You‘re The Only Woman (You and I) by Ambrosia, 1980.
LYRICS:
(Well yeah now you, Baby) Say now you, you talk about the things I do But baby I, I'll try ‘n explain the reasons why ‘Cause I've been thinking about the things we said late last night When every word I said just didn't come out right And you were so afraid that I'd found someone new But darlin‘ well, there's no need for what we're going through because
You and I've been in love too long to worry about tomorrow Here's a place where we both belong I know you're the only woman that I'm dreaming of You're the only woman that I really love
Baby, see what a foolish heart has done for me Oh, Darling, why would you break my heart and make me cry? Well now you can't go back and change the way things are, and all this foolish talk won't take us very far And so I hope you're listening ‘cause I'm telling you About the way I feel and what I'm going through because
You and I've been in love too long to worry about tomorrow Here's a place where we both belong I know you're the only woman that I'm dreaming of I say you're the only woman that I really love Don't speak, shhh
When the pain of love surrounds you, and the world may be unkind, I'll put my loving arms around you and take you far from this place and time because You and I've been in love too long To worry about tomorrow Here's a place where we both belong I know you're the only woman I've been dreaming of Baby, you're the only woman that I really love You're the only woman I know you're the only woman Well now you're the only woman (You’re the only woman) (You ARE the only woman)
Drivin' down on a dry summer's day Old Route 66 and I was just a kid Met a pretty little Indian girl ALong the way Got her into my car And tried to give her a kiss I'll give you beads and wampum Whatever it takes, girl, to make you trade She jumped into the back seat And she kinda flipped her lid She said you're tryin' to get something for nothing Like the Pilgrims in the olden days
We rode for a while till the sun went away And I realized it was sort of an honor Bein' around this girl I felt embarrassed Of what I tried to do earlier that day She was the saddest girl I ever knew She told me stories about the Indian nations ANd how the White man stole their lives away And although she kinda liked me She could never trust me And when the sun comes up We'd go our different ways
Now everybody has got the choice Between hotdogs and hamburgers Every one of us has got to choose Between right and wrong And givin' up or holdin' on
So I dropped her off at some railroad crossing in Texas An old Indian man was waiting there He smiled and thanked me But he saw right through me I could tell he didn't like me For my kind he did not care Because to him I was the White man The one who sold him something that he already owned And it was like he'd been riding in the car right there with us And I felt ashamed of my acations And the way the West was really won So I drove down the highway Till I came to Los Angeles The town of the angels The best this country can do I got down on my knees And I asked for forgiveness I said, Lord, forgive us for we know not what we do
For me, music rarely, (VERY rarely), is better than these sisters to me.
They are in a very small group of singers/musicians for me who, in various ways, I can say have saved my life and made it so much better - - all by just my listening. And the evening I met all four of them - - priceless to me. They were SO kind to me. And SO funny! Great senses of humor.
