One Time
HRF Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One time one time one time
I give it to you if you want me to
Two time two times two times
You can get it if you know the moves
Three times three times three times
But after I can’t stay
So right before I leave I say
I’m sucker for love but never treat me good

I’m walking round like I’m Puffy
Used to act like Suge
Know my dreams won’t mean something
If my mind is shook
Know on my fields will grow nothing
If theres no water look
I told myself to stay alone
Before you first came around
Said I don’t need a woman no
Till you moved back to my town
Thought I to lose myself just to find someone else
Your first look told me that you want
One time one time one time
I give it to you if you want me to
Two time two times two times
You can get it if you know the moves
Three times three times three times
But after I can’t stay
So right before I leave I say
A few dates then I knew you want a different life woah
Every day we got sicker of living life low
Did it three times and kept wishing for four
You told me this and that I had get to know your soul
Listening to J Huss Guns and Butter
Each of us with stories where we suffered
Wake up in the morning thinking of us
Studio recordings good vibes Summer
Suddenly I couldn’t sleep without you sleeping next to me
I honestly don’t know this feel it gives me more that sex and weed
Thought I to lose myself just to find someone else
Your first look told me that you need
One time one time one time
I give it to you if you want me to
Two time two times two times
You can get it if you know the moves
Three times three times three times

But after I can't stay
So right before I leave I say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of HRF's song "One Time" can be interpreted as a reflection on a love affair or a romantic connection that the singer is going through. In the first verse, they express their willingness to give themselves to the other person multiple times, indicating their desire to please and satisfy them. However, they also make it clear that they cannot stay for long, which suggests a sense of impermanence in their relationships.

The second verse delves into the singer's experience with love and relationships. They describe themselves as a "sucker for love," implying that they tend to fall easily and deeply for others. However, they also state that they are not treated well, comparing themselves to influential figures in the music industry, Puffy and Suge. This could indicate that they feel deceived or taken advantage of in past relationships.

The third verse reflects the singer's initial decision to stay alone and not pursue a romantic relationship. However, once the person they are singing about comes back into their life, their perspective changes. They admit that they don't need a woman until this person reappears, suggesting that they have a strong emotional connection or attachment to them. This realization leads them to question their own identity and whether they have lost themselves in the pursuit of love.

The chorus repeats the phrase "One time, two times, three times," emphasizing the transient nature of their encounters with this person. The verses indicate that despite their strong feelings and deep connection, they are aware that they cannot stay for long. The repetition of the line "So right before I leave I say" speaks to the recognition of their impermanence in the relationship.

In the final verse, the singer reflects on their experiences with this person as they continue to date. They realize that the other person desires a different life, and although they continue their encounters, they long for more. The mention of J Huss Guns and Butter suggests that they find solace in music and storytelling, possibly relating to their shared experiences of suffering and struggles.

As the lyrics progress, the singer becomes increasingly reliant on this person's presence in their life, emphasizing that they cannot sleep without them. They express that their connection goes beyond physical aspects and substances like sex and weed, suggesting a deep emotional bond.

In summary, "One Time" portrays a love affair that is intense and fleeting. The singer willingly gives themselves to the other person multiple times, yet they acknowledge their inability to stay for long. They express their longing and attachment to this person but also recognize the challenges and the potential loss of their own identity in the pursuit of love.

I fall easily for love, but rarely receive the treatment I deserve

I’m walking round like I’m Puffy
I carry myself with confidence and swagger, emulating the style of Puff Daddy

Used to act like Suge
I used to exhibit the tough and dominating behavior of Suge Knight

Know my dreams won’t mean something
I am aware that my aspirations will lack significance

If my mind is shook
Unless I am emotionally stable and secure

Know on my fields will grow nothing
My endeavors will not bear fruit

If there's no water look
If there is no nurturing and support

I told myself to stay alone
I convinced myself to remain solitary

Before you first came around
Prior to your arrival in my life

Said I don’t need a woman no
I claimed that I didn't require a romantic partner

Till you moved back to my town
Until you returned to my vicinity

Thought I to lose myself just to find someone else
I believed I had to sacrifice my own identity to discover another person

Your first look told me that you want
The initial glance you gave me indicated your desire

A few dates then I knew you want a different life woah
After a few encounters, I realized that you seek a different lifestyle

Every day we got sicker of living life low
Every day, our dissatisfaction with a mediocre existence grew

Did it three times and kept wishing for four
We engaged in intimate encounters on three occasions and desired more

You told me this and that I had get to know your soul
You shared your thoughts and feelings, urging me to understand your essence

Listening to J Huss Guns and Butter
We would listen to J Huss's song 'Guns and Butter'

Each of us with stories where we suffered
Both of us have past experiences of pain and hardship

Wake up in the morning thinking of us
I wake up every morning with thoughts of our relationship

Studio recordings good vibes Summer
We shared joyful moments during the summer, creating positive memories in the recording studio

Suddenly I couldn’t sleep without you sleeping next to me
I found myself unable to sleep peacefully unless you were by my side

I honestly don’t know this feel it gives me more than sex and weed
I genuinely cannot comprehend the depth of this emotion, as it surpasses mere physical pleasure and substance-induced highs

Your first look told me that you need
From the very first glance you gave me, I sensed that you had a strong need
