Old enough to be her dad

Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son

But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
+
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
−
And she was flattered by his charm

I'm the one, yes, I'm the one

It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances

I'm the one, I'm the one,
 +
I'm the one they call the seventh son
  
−
He sent her flowers and limousines
+
Well I can tell your future before it comes to pass
−
She was treated like a queen
+
And I can do things for you that make your heart feel glad
−
Anything she ever wanted
+
Look at the skies and predict the rain

It was no problem for a man like him

I can tell when a woman's got another man

And everyone expected soon

I'm the one, yes, I'm the one

That she could ask him for the moon

I'm the one, I'm the one,

If she would wear his ring

I'm the one they call the seventh son

Knowing glances from his friends

Now I can hold you close and I can squeeze you tight

In the homes at the weekends of high society

And I can make you cry for me both day and night

But he didn't give a damn

And I can heal the sick and even raise the dead

He never felt more like a man

And make you little girls talk out of your head

I'm the one, yes, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one,

I'm the one they call the seventh son

And all the time the clock was ticking

Now I can talk these words that sound so sweet

And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife

I can make your little heart even skip a beat

Yes, all would envy

I can take you, baby, hold you in my arms

And make the flesh quiver on your lovely bones

I'm the one, yes, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one,

I'm the one they call the seventh son

In a house upon a hill

Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son

She was there with time to kill

But in the whole round world there is only one, and

She lived a life she'd only dreamed

I'm the one, yes, I'm the one

The life was never what it seemed

I'm the one, I'm the one,

To all her friends that she'd ignored

I'm the one they call the seventh son

She denied she was bored

I'm the one they call the seventh son

She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing

I'm the one they call the seventh son

But the clock upon the wall

That was ticking in the hall

Always reminded her

That life was going on as well

Now it's 5 o'clock am

She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers

She loves to dance

She's missing more and more these days

But he's still stuck in his old ways

Perhaps she needs a little more romance

But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall

She must be home soon, soon

Where a younger man would weep

He takes a pill and goes to sleep

Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife

Who would envy?

Who would envy?

Lyrics

Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son

Well I can tell your future before it comes to pass
And I can do things for you that make your heart feel glad
Look at the skies and predict the rain
I can tell when a woman's got another man
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son

Now I can hold you close and I can squeeze you tight
And I can make you cry for me both day and night
And I can heal the sick and even raise the dead
And make you little girls talk out of your head
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son

Now I can talk these words that sound so sweet
I can make your little heart even skip a beat
I can take you, baby, hold you in my arms
And make the flesh quiver on your lovely bones
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son

Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
I'm the one they call the seventh son
I'm the one they call the seventh son
