One & Only
Adele Ft Kanye West 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
The lyrics of Adele Ft Kanye West's song One & Only express the singer's all-consuming love for another person. The singer is growing fonder every day and finds themselves losing track of time while thinking about the other person's face. However, doubts and fears hold the singer back from expressing their love fully. They mention that they have been in this position before with someone else and have previously imagined every feeling and word that they currently experience with the person they sing about. Despite knowing that "nobody's perfect," the singer dares the other person to give them a chance to prove that they are worthy of being their "one and only."
The song is an ode to being vulnerable, taking risks, and putting oneself out there in the most honest and authentic way. It speaks to the courage it takes to open oneself up emotionally and romantically to another person, knowing that the outcome may not always be what we hope for. The lyrics encourage listeners to pursue their true desires and not let fear of rejection or past experiences hold them back from finding love.

You've been on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
I grow fonder every day
My love for you keeps getting stronger
Lose myself in time
I get lost thinking about you for hours
Just thinking of your face
The thought of your face makes me happy
God only knows why it's taken me
I can't explain why it took me so long
So long to let my doubts go
I had doubts about us, but I'm ready to let them go
You're the only one that I want
Out of everyone in the world, you're the only one I want
I don't know why I'm scared
I'm afraid of getting hurt again
I've been here before
I've been in love before and it didn't work out
Every feeling, every word
I've felt every feeling and thought of every word
I've imagined it all
I've even imagined our future together
You'll never know if you never try
We won't know if we can work unless we try
To forget your past and simply be mine
Let go of your past and give us a chance
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I challenge you to let me love you exclusively
I promise I'm worthy
I promise I'm deserving of your love

Until the end of time
If I've been on your mind
If you've been thinking about me too
You hang on every word I say
You pay attention to everything I say
At the mention of my name
My name makes your heart skip a beat
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close
I wonder what it feels like to hold you close
And have you tell me
And hear you say
Whichever road I choose, you'll go?
That you'll support me no matter what
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I understand that giving your heart to someone isn't easy
Nobody's perfect
I know nobody's perfect, including me
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
(I know it's hard to trust someone with your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
But I promise I've learned from my mistakes
So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
So I challenge you to let me be the only one you love
To prove that I am the, one who can walk that mile
To show that I can make this work
Come on and give me the chance
Please give me the opportunity to prove myself
Until the end starts
Until the end of time
