Lyrics

Got a label for my boxes of junk You got a label for me You say that I*m the kind who won*t make a dime cause I*m doing it all for free I go outside and watch the storms roll in You like to watch on tv If lightning hits, you know it*s gonna hit something Either your tv or me Sometimes you gotta take some chances Sometimes there ain*t no other way One in a million, hey if that*s what a chance is Then I got a new one today I always feel like a fugitive skipping out on fate She*s trying to bust me for plans of my own and for making her wait Your whole world can change just like that With just a bolt from the blue It*s the mystery keeps me alive But I know that it*s killing you Sometimes you gotta take some chances Sometimes there ain*t no other way One in a million, hey if that*s what a chance is Then I got a new one today So get your game face on We*re gonna take it uptown Don*t worry Œbout the weather The rougher the better You can*t keep a good dream down Chorus

Review:

"One in a Million" is exactly what the title indicates, creativity within convention. So many pop tunes get caught into the mindless cycle of boring melodies and chord progressions, but not this tune. "One in a Million" combines surprising harmonic movement with spicy vocal harmonies of a clear and enjoyable melody. Even the bridge and the coda have a few surprises. Top notch creative work. Well don.
