One And Only
Cherry Cherry Boom Boom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
I know the choice is up to me
Whenever you call
I oughta let it ring now
I always answer
I always tell you that I'm free
I know it sounds so damn pathetic
That I still think we could
Be together baby
I'm gonna be forever chasing
I'm gonna find you fascinating til the end
Cause I can't help myself
No I can't help myself
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
I know you nearly
Feel something for me
And though you barely
Reveal anything now
you say you're busy
I always tell you that I'm free
I know I'm gonna just regret it but I still wanna believe
You'll care eventually
I'm gonna be forever waiting
I'm gonna think you're just amazing til the end
Cause I can't help myself
Cause I can't help myself
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one
I'm so sad
I'm revolving
Round the sun
You're the one
I'm so sad
I'm revolving
Round the sun
I'm the one revolving around you
You're the one
I'm so sad
I'm revolving
Round the sun
I'm the one revolving around you
You're the one
I'm so sad
I'm revolving
Round the sun
I'm the one revolving around you
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one and only
I'm just sad and lonely
You're the sun and I'm the planet spinning round
You're the one
I'm so sad
I'm revolving
Round the sun
The lyrics to Cherry Cherry Boom Boom's "One and Only" convey a sense of unrequited love and hopelessness. The singer of the song is pining for someone who they believe is their soulmate, their "one and only." However, this person does not reciprocate their feelings, leaving the singer feeling sad and lonely. The metaphor of the sun and planet adds to the sense of powerlessness, with the singer unable to break free from orbit and move on.
Despite knowing that the choice to move on is theirs alone, the singer is unable to resist answering when their love interest calls, even though they know it will only lead to further disappointment. The chorus reinforces the idea that this person is the one and only for the singer, even if it is not reciprocated. The bridge suggests that there is a glimmer of hope, and that maybe one day the love interest will come around, but the singer knows it is unlikely and that they will be forever waiting and hoping.
Overall, "One and Only" is a melancholy and reflective song about the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on when someone seems to be your soulmate.
