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

'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore since you went away

(Number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(Number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(Number)
One (one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do)
(Number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

    My Opinion

    First off,I want to point out that it isn't a crime to say negative things about iconic rock songs... That being said.... "One" was written by that greatest of rock crooners/writers Harry Nilsson [i.e. "Without You"], sadly dead before he died... and he had his magical way of using one line, just 4 or 5 words, to make a complete song. That might have been the way to go with "One" because up until he wriites "Yes...." everything clicked nicely - even "Two..." because "two" is not the opposite of "one" but "yes" is the opposite of "no" and therefore cannot be "the saddest".

    Oh, I don't no. No - I know, its yes on the one hand but no on the two hand.

    No is the saddest experience you'll ever know Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
