One Mo'gin
D'Angelo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know some things have changed since the last I seen you
Some good, some for the bad, baby, bad, baby
All and all, I can't complain that's what I've been through, baby
But seeing you reminds me of the precious times we had (huh)

And I wondered all this time 'bout how you been
And I hope by chance, I'd see you once again
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again
I long to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh

I know you got someone and I got somebody too
But I'm unhappy and I miss the shit we used to do, yeah, yeah, yeah
I miss your smile, your mouth, your laughter, baby
I never bumped into your kind before or after

And I wondered all this time 'bout how you been (said, I been wonderin')
And I hoped by chance I'd see you once again
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again
I'll long to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

I know you gotta be gettin' back to your own thing
Baby, you got yours and I got mine
I hope you know that you could call me, girl, if things change, yeah, yeah
And if you want to, we can catch up on some lost time (and I'm wonderin', baby)

And I wondered all this time 'bout how you been (said, I been wonderin')
And I hoped by chance I'd see you once again (how you been, girl?)
I'd love to kiss your lips, baby, once again (again)
I'd love to hold you tight, girl, one mo' gin
'Gin, 'gin, ow, ow





Yeah, that's cool
