One Night
Gab Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just one in a million hearts tryna have yours
I know you've heard that before
But you're perfect, you don't believe it
It's like you don't see, not at all
Even those days without make-up
That don't mess with your make up
You don't have to try to take my heart
You're lookin' through the mirror to see what's wrong

Ain't nothing wrong

Girl, I say something, no
I'm not lookin' for one night
I'm lookin' for all my life
I wanna share this, share this love for more then one, more then one
I'm not lookin' for daylight, to let me holdin' you tight
I wanna share this, share this love, you're worth more

Then just one night, one-one night, one-one night
Just one night, one-one night, one-one night
You're worth more
Then just one night, one-one night, one-one night
More like all my life, all my life, all my life
That's what I'm waiting for

Just one night, one-one night, one-one night
Just one night, one-one night, one-one night
You're worth more
Then just one night, one-one night, one-one night
More like all my life, all my life, all my life
That's what I'm waiting for

Excuse me for make up
That don't mess with your make-up
You don't have to try to take my heart
You're lookin' through the mirror to see what's wrong
Ain't nothing wrong

Girl, I say something, no
I'm not lookin' for one night
I'm lookin' for all my life
I wanna share this, share this love for more then one, more then one
I'm not lookin' for daylight, to let me holdin' you tight
I wanna share this, share this love, you're worth more

I'm just one in a million hearts tryna have yours
I know you've heard that before
But you're perfect, you don't believe it
It's like you don't see, not at all
Even those days without make-up
That don't mess with your make up
You don't have to try to take my heart
You're lookin' through the mirror to see what's wrong
Ain't nothing wrong

Girl, I say something, no
I'm not lookin' for one night
I'm lookin' for all my life
I wanna share this, share this love for more then one, more then one
I'm not lookin' for daylight, to let me holdin' you tight
I wanna share this, share this love, you're worth more

Then just one night, one-one night, one-one night
Just one night, one-one night, one-one night
You're worth more
Then just one night, one-one night, one-one night

More like all my life, all my life, all my life
That's what I'm waiting for

Lyrics ❤

But your perfect and you don’t believe it
It’s like you don’t see it
Not at all

Even those days without makeup
That don’t mess your make up

You don’t never try to take me home
Yet you look into the mirror to see what’s wrong
Ain’t nothing wrong
I see something more
I’m not looking for one night
I’m looking for all my life

I want to shine this, shine this love, for more than one [night], more one
I’m not looking for daylight to end me holding you tight x2

I want to shine this, shine this love, you're worth more, than just one night
One… one night, one… one night
Than just one night
One… one night, one… one night
You're worth more
Than just one night
One… one night, one… one night
Than just one night
One… one night, one… one night
You're worth more
Than just one night
One… one night, one… one night

Daylight x4
