One More
Grandmaster Melle-Mel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never get to love you long, just your memory
And I make a vow each time you leave that this will draw the line
Then you come back and just like now I'm falling one more time
One more time my lips may kiss you
One more time my arms will miss you
But it won't belong until you're gone with a memory left behind
Your nearness makes me weaken and I give into you
And I'm doing all the things, I said that I wouldn't do
And I make a vow each time you leave that this will draw the line
Then you come back and just like now I'm falling one more time

Line by Line Meaning
I wonder what the power is that you hold over me
I am curious about the control you have over my emotions
I never get to love you long, just your memory
I only have the memory of loving you, as we never get to be together for long
And I make a vow each time you leave that this will draw the line
Every time you leave, I promise myself that it's the end for us
Then you come back and just like now I'm falling one more time
But when you return, I can't resist falling for you again, just like I am now
One more time my lips may kiss you
I may kiss you for one more time
One more time my arms will miss you
I will miss holding you for one more time
But it won't belong until you're gone with a memory left behind
But soon you will be gone again, leaving only a memory of our time together
And I just know that when you go I'll be lonely, one more time
And I am certain that when you leave, I will be lonely, yet again
Your nearness makes me weaken and I give into you
Your proximity weakens my resolve and I end up giving in to you
And I'm doing all the things, I said that I wouldn't do
As a result of giving in to you, I end up doing things that I promised myself I'd never do
