First Date the Musical - The One Lyrics

MAN #1
How does it start?
How does it last?
It's a miracle
Two people get together.

WOMAN #1
How does your heart
Choose who to cast
In a partner for the
Nigh or for forever?

MAN #2
Every date you
Go on's feelin' like a chore.

WOMAN #2
Can you trust
Your judgment
When it's been so poor?

MAN #1 & #2
You've gotten burned

WOMAN #1 & #2
Wish you could run

MAN & WOMAN
But if you do
Then you'll never ever find
The one
The one
Are you ever gonna find the one?

MAN #1
How will it go?

WOMAN #1
Where will it lead?

MAN #1 & WOMAN #1
Will tonight become a lifetime full of magic?

WOMAN #2
Go with the flow

MAN #2
You might succeed

MAN #2 & WOMAN #2
Meeting someone you don't
Think is fuckin' tragic.

WOMAN #1
Will the minutes feel like
Hours, even years?

WOMAN #2
Or will you connect and share your
Deepest fears?

MEN
It's so damn hard
And so not fun

MEN & WOMEN
Still you go on
In that endless search
To find the one
The one
Are you ever gonna
Find the one?

MAN #1 & WOMAN #1
How do you stay optimistic
When there are so
Many ways to fail?

MAN #2 & WOMAN #2
Don't wanna be another statistic

MEN & WOMEN
Who didn't get the fairy tale.

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Where the hell's the fairy tale?!

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Dating's a bitch (it's such a butch!)
Dating's unfair (it's so unfair!)

WAITER
It's like battle where
You find out
What you're made of.

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Wish you could ditch (let's ditch)
This cruel affair (this affair)

WAITER
The stakes are high and there's
So much to be afraid of.

WOMEN
When you're far from
Perfect, stuck in your own way
All your baggage keeps your
Chance of love at bay.

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
And so until the game is done

WAITER
You hold out hope that
Before you lose your mind
You'll meet your match and won't end up
Left behind.

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Maybe tonight is the night you're
Gonna find the one!
(The one!)
The one
(The one!)

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Could tonight be when
You find the one?
(The one!)
The one
(The one!)

MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Could tonight be when
You find the one?
