One And Only
Adele(아델) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows why it's taken me
So long to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose, you'll go?
I don't know why I'm scared
'Cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy, mm
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I am the, one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on and give me the chance
To prove that I am the one who can, walk that mile
Until the end starts
In Adele's song, "One and Only," the singer expresses her feelings for someone she has been thinking about constantly. She says that she is growing fonder of this person every day and loves to lose herself in thoughts of his face. However, she is scared to take a chance with him because she has been hurt before. She pleads with him to let her be his one and only and promises that she is worthy of being held in his arms.
There is a sense of vulnerability in the lyrics as Adele admits that she is scared to take a chance on love. She has been hurt before and knows how painful it can be. Yet, she believes that this person is worth the risk, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to prove it. The song's message is about taking risks in love and not being afraid to let go of the past.
