I see the moon
I see the moon
I see the moon
Oh, when you're looking at the sun
I'm not a fool
I'm not a fool
Not a fool
No, you're not fooling anyone

Oh, but when you're gone
When you're gone
When you're gone
Oh, baby, all the lights go out
Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won't let you down and run
No, I won't let you down and run
'Cause I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one

I see in blue
I see in blue
I see in blue
Oh, and you see everything in red
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Do for you
Do for you
Oh, 'cause you got inside my head

Oh, but when you're gone
When you're gone
When you're gone
Oh, baby, all the lights go out
Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won't let you down and run
No, I won't let you down and run
'Cause I could be the one
I could be the one

I could be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one
Will you be mine?

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show

Overall Meaning

Dua Lipa's "Be The One" is a song about someone who is trying to convince their lover that they could be everything they need. The chorus repeats the phrase "I could be the one" over and over again, conveying a desperate need to be chosen by the person they love. The singer acknowledges that they were wrong in the past, but is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right and work things out.


The opening verses describe the disconnect between the two lovers, with one seeing the moon and the other seeing the sun. The imagery suggests that they see the world very differently and potentially have different priorities and perspectives. However, the singer insists that they are "not a fool" and can see through the facade of their partner trying to hide their true feelings.


Overall, "Be The One" is a plea for love and a willingness to work things out despite past mistakes and differences. It is a sentimental love song with a catchy beat that embodies the desperation and hope that comes with longing for someone.
