Only You { English
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

An inner window opens
Is a love story
That has gone
It was all a point yesterday
And today I want to chase you back

I need you give me what
I need to see another day
And just think of you
Only you

She does not believe in love
Is just a diversion
Failure
All together it is fake
And I feel like running away
To your arms

I need you give me what
I need to see another day
And just think of you
Only you

Going spending time and not
What it was that once
You have become?
You've probably forgotten me
While I live by you
Obsessed?

Need what you give me
I need to see another day
And just think of you
Only you

Need what you've given me
I need to see another day
And just think of you
Only you

An inside window opens
Is a love story
That is gone
Was all a point yesterday
And today that I want you to chase
Need what you give me
I need to see another day




And only think of you
Only you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Only You" by Enrique Iglesias explore the themes of lost love and the desire to be with someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. The song starts off with the idea of an "inner window" opening, which could represent a reflection of the past and the memories of a love story that has ended. The repetition of "yesterday" also reinforces the idea of something that is left behind and cannot be regained. Despite this, the focus of the song is on the present and the desire to "chase you back." The lyrics express the need to have that person back in their life, as they are the only one that can bring meaning to the present and help them move on.


The emotions in the song are heightened when the singer talks about the other person's belief in love. The fact that they do not believe in love and see it as a "diversion" is reflected in the singer's own sense of isolation and loneliness. The line "All together it is fake" could represent the disillusionment of love or the feeling of being trapped in a loveless relationship. The singer desires to escape to the other person's arms, which could be seen as a way to find comfort and healing. The repetition of "Only you" throughout the song emphasizes the single-minded focus of the singer's affection and the desperation to be seen and loved by that one person.


Overall, "Only You" is a song that captures the feelings of longing and desperation that can come with lost love. It conveys the idea of needing someone to help you move on and find meaning in life again, but also the fear of rejection and the uncertainty that comes with putting yourself out there. The lyrics are simple yet powerful and the repetitive nature of the song adds to the sense of longing and desperation.

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love, can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away, want you near me
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
Sometimes when I think of your name
And it's only a game, and I need you
Listening to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay when I see you
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine, I can't take no more
I wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand behind a closed door
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love, can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away, want you near me
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
And all I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
