One is the loneliest number. As a child, I always wondered what they meant by that. After all, one is just a number. How can it be lonely?
Quiet as I was, I had a lot of friends in school. Then my power manifested and I took out the wall separating the girls and boys bathrooms. I suddenly became acutely aware of just how accurate that statement is.
Then the Professor came and took me away. He gave me a home and gave me back my sight, limited though it is; it's better than being blind. After a while, I made knew friends, gained a second family, and met the woman of my dreams. Two hearts became one and one wasn't so lonely anymore.
But now she's gone and, in a house full of people, I'm one again. I'm alone once more, and, as before, one is a very lonely number.
THE END

Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
"No" is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa, worse than two
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
