Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away
One call and i'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home
I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone
And if you saw me gone
Would you sing my songs tonight
And i don't wanna fight
You just wanna
Make it right
I'm sipping on
Dirty sprite
I pour it up
Know I ain't enough
I finna fuck you in my bed
Shawty give me head
I got lots of stacks
I just run it back
Baby why you mad?
I just wanna know
Where you at
I've got lots of drugs
I'm so sad
So sad
So sad
You're mad
You're mad
And she bad
She bad
I still wanna fuck her
When she knows im sad
I swear I still love you
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away
One call and I'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home
I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone?
Will I be okay?
She don't care anyway
I be on them drugs
I don't care what you gon say
I'll be scared to call you up
And I know she still miss me
Yeah, I keep on falling off
And you cannot be with me
Baby wanna stay
And i'll run away
And i'll keep you safe
I swear I still love you
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away
One call and I'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home
I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone?
The lyrics to Alai Oli's "One Love" seem to be a conflicted mix of passion, pain, desire and sadness. The first stanza suggests a tumultuous love story with the singer admitting that despite being hurt, they still love the other person. However, they long for sex over anything else, with drugs being the only thing that makes their pain go away. The second stanza suggests that the singer is asking for forgiveness from the other person and doesn't want to fight. They are so consumed by their emotions and drug use that they cannot maintain a stable relationship. In the end, the singer asks if the other person would cry if they were gone, but it's unclear if this is a question of sentimentality or a way to gauge their importance to the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of "One Love" are raw, emotional and unapologetic, and speak to the complexities of love, especially when it's mixed with addiction and heartbreak. The lyrics make it clear that the singer is not okay, but the song does not offer a solution, leaving the listener to ponder the complexities of love and addiction.
