One Night Only
Deena Jones and The Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the only one
When dreams it comes to you
You are the only one
When we're together it feels so true
And it's all in your world
You, and I love you girl
I am the only one
Who wants to know you more each day
I am the only one
Who can make you feel this way
And it's all in your world
You, and I love you girl
We are the only ones
When dreams it comes to us
Love is the only one
Living in each one of us
And it's all in your world
You, and I love you girl
Love you girl
Love, love, love
Love you girl
Love, love, love
Love you girl




Love, love, love
Love you girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deena Jones and The Dreams's "One Night Only" express the pain of a failed relationship that is coming to a close. The singer regrets the fact that their time together has come to an end and they will have to say goodbye forever. The opening stanza portrays the singer’s longing for her partner to stay for one more night while acknowledging the inevitability of his departure. She feels silly for having thought that they could stay together and is heartbroken that their time is cut short.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Only for the night" twice, emphasizing the fleeting nature of their relationship and the desire to make the most of the time they have left. The singer pleads to be taken to the "moonlit sky" for one last romantic moment together. The third stanza highlights the singer’s understanding that the relationship was short-lived and not meant to last. However, she tries pleading with her partner to reconsider, believing that they were perfect for each other.


In summary, "One Night Only" is a detour from the band's usual upbeat style and explores the complexities of love and relationships. The song highlights the bittersweet feeling of connection that can be found in a brief and intense relationship, acknowledging the pain of losing something meaningful.


Line by Line Meaning

How I hate to see you leave tomorrow
I dread the thought of you departing tomorrow


Leave behind a man in pain and sorrow
Your departure will leave me unhappy and distressed


Silly me, who thought we'd be together
I was foolish to believe we had a future together


But tonight we'll say goodbye forever
This evening will mark the end of our relationship for good


Only for the night
Our time together is limited to this evening only


Take me to the moonlit sky
Let us spend our final moments together under the stars


Even though I do respect your wishes
Although I understand and accept your decision


All we had in a whiff has turned to ashes
Our relationship has suddenly and completely fallen apart


You and I were perfect for each other
We were perfectly matched as partners


Can't you see, you and I must be together, but!
Please see that we should be together, despite the circumstances


This is wrong, don't you see
Our separation is unjust, can't you realize?


We belong, you and me
Our belongingness to each other is genuine


How I wish that you could change your mind
I have a strong desire that you alter your decision

This is the best scene in the movie, it had it ALL

Beauty
Rhythm
Plot
Betrayal
Explained the music scene in the pre-80s in 2 minutes

That's not even taking into account, the looks, the fashion, the dancing

A SERVE.

Of course Beyonce didn't even get an Oscar nod since back then the Oscars never cared much for full black cast films but this one was definitely the best film of 2006. Beyonce and Eddie Murphy were the best performers in their respective roles.

Jennifer was great but playing a stereotype of a mad black woman and then that getting all the praise was very cringe.

You want all my love and my devotion
You want my love and soul, right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you, forever
The only trouble is, you really don't have the time
You've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have 'til dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give
One night only, one night only
You'll be the only one
One night only
Then you have to run
One night only, one night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only
Words get in the way
One night only
One night only
One night only

This can turn into a really ugly situation, serious situation.

... and the Aquarius millenium a long time, my intentions are not to be the worst person in the world, I don't gotta be the best,but uhnn, someone created some kind of am evil in and around me too.

Well uhmm you know uhmm, Deni uhmm she can go heeling with God,if that what he wants so be it, whatever he wants.

Even with my name everywhere, I don't know exactly why he brought me back to life, I have an idea but I don't know where to go from here, from what I saw it was only something he could do or undue and it was serious.

I praying for that to happen as soon as possible!

I was very sick spiritually, I not a bully girl, I don't start fights,we had a very nice Balkans,yugo culture, and my family full of awesome awesome awesome people,uhn this sht with these Rhianna z and Nicki z like yooo where you going,ppl to start attacking our families and friends, and talk sht, and, and, and gues what billions or millions ot hundreds of dollars that family that's mine around the world, sooner or later something might happen?.... When Beyonce besuty fades and we left with those Jayz children, and uhmm billions of pictures of some yonce who cloning Deni,yooo so whatever evil going on here remember y'all helped to create this.

Listen I not afraid of looking my worst or,look she poor and white or albino, whatever,but this is going kinda tooo far I don't know if God would agree?

Also, I very aware, not a Beatty j Eadie thing uhmm Don judge people by their looks,yooo the Balkans people were the coolest,
Yoooo black Panthers and rest of the red yellow black and white ppz from north america were like,' how do we get that spirit, that culture and system.

Good,bad thoughts go through my head, just like in the dreams I've seen both good and bad.

I wonder too when I look at Beyonce ancestors and God knows not everyone bad everywhere, I have ancestors that while they were alive were my enemies, maybe we not going to spend eternity or be a family with everyone.
I wondered if we all can call on our ancestors for help?

I don't know where Beyonce belongs,kinda like Marko who,uhmm says uhmm his grandmother only only loved him and doesn't consider that her children had hard lives too. They weren't as bad as Marko,says, also then what so special about Marko.
All these aunts and uncles have children too.

So when Beyonce say she doesn't know where she belongs, I asked Marko,ok since your mother and father are not your mother and father,his biological,then who is,did God let you know, give you any signs,his answer was no!

Da heck do you want me to do,if you're not in touch with your own feelings, were not from Marko z brain or his soul. Most people can do is pray for him.

' he ordered his aunt pizza once ', ???
Buddy where you going?

Talking about,lifes hard,his aunt's got 3 kids,a house, husband,communities and churches to go to.

God knows what Marko capable of becoming. I not trying to say that not possible,or no God, don't do that let's hate Marko, keep him low and don't bless him,kill him.

Same with Beyonce,but this situation been really hard.

So looking at her ancestors pictures, and God knows what they went through, you get sad looking, God created these people, I don't know them.

What I also saying is I don't want to be a family with ppl on earth that I not going to be with in heaven.

Yooo, even Liliana, when I was born, said to some people, she hipes I become something great, when I was also a little girl... and then,top that she saying,why her mother brought me into their house,why didn't they leave me with ' Maria '?

She still wished me all good things, and same here, how could you not, that's really hard, when you don't feel a connection with someone and your being forced into a relationship that can't work.

Whatever the case think same in this situation for God sake,say something good, like even thu there bad.

Y'all don't know everything just like I don't.

Both sides,we gotta try and pray for y'all on our side too and I still alive.

Really hard because I in bad shape and the 3 years I was staying at St Vincent du Paul,none yall spoke to me, I just started to remember, someone in my 20 s saying something to me around Beyonce,' Deni,uhmmm, your going to be the white girl of things, they came by the shelter, and uhmm yoo if presidents need to go over things and prepare yooo and my condition before I got injured at 30, I didn't have any of these health problems then btw. I was allrigt at 30 and didn't make noise, scream,curse,go on the way I going on.

Well uhmm she just got sick you know, make up some crap.

I don't know what kinda of a culture y'all have where y'all from,but uhmm our elderly and young family members dying still and your calling something ' house of dereon."

Thousands of photographs taken from this Liliana and Marko z mother and not everyone in the family Marko,we have a huge family, and communities... from both rich and poor and in between.

I don't know wtf is this,we don't get our allowance until???
...but Rhianna uhmm has great influence blabla,yoooo, where you going?
.... all this money holding sht and control, and uhmm Beatty said that witches are good,yooo that some ervil sht,.

I'm not even talking about no Liliana or Marko, going to war in the 90s, even,yooo our native and black side dying in the 90 s, going to war, gimme no makooo,ow Liliana!
