One - U2 ft. Mary J. Blige

18 december 2014
Om nog even terug te komen op die covers: er is ook een categorie deuntjes waarvan het lijkt dat werkelijk iedereen het origineel beter vindt. Behalve ik dan, en dat geldt zeker voor het deuntje van deze dag. Als mevrouw Blige begint aan dat stuk met 'Love is a temple' dan is welk origineel dan ook volstrekt kansloos.
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
and I can't be holding on to what you got
when all you got is hurt

Is it getting better
or do you feel the same
will it make it easier on you now
you got someone to blame
you say one love, one life
when it's one need in the night
one love, we get to share it
leaves you baby if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
or leave a bad taste in your mouth
you act like you never had love
and you want me to go without
well it's too late, tonight
to drag the past out into the light
we're one, but we're not the same
we get to carry each other, carry each other
one

Have you come here for forgiveness
have you come to raise the dead
have you come here to play Jesus
to the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much, more than a lot
you gave me nothing now it's all I got
we're one but we're not the same
well we hurt each other then we do it again
you say love is a temple, love a higher law
love is a temple, love the higher law
you ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
and I can't be holding on to what you got
when all you got is hurt

One love, one blood
one life, you got to do what you should
one life with each other
sisters, brothers
one life but we're not the same
we get to carry each other
carry each other
