Analysis of I WANT TO BE THE ONE



I want to be the one you need,
The favourite book you read,
The one who watches your back,
And close to you as your twin duck.

I want to be the one to answer your call,
The one to usher you into the hall,
on your day of recognition and fame.
I will remain true to you - always the same.

I want to be the shoulder you lean on,
When you are weak, sad or down.
I want to be your iron shield,
At home and in a battle field.

I want to be your wallet mirror.
And your knight in a golden armour.
I want to be your perfect match,
The one and only - your big catch.
