One Love
Jeffrey Osborne Lyrics

Girl, you know I love you
I am deeply in love with you and want to express my affection towards you.

No matter what you do
Regardless of your actions, I will still love you unconditionally.

And I hope you understand me
I expect you to comprehend my feelings and intentions.

Every word I say is true
I sincerely mean everything I say to you.

'Cause I love you
The reason behind my actions and words is my passionate love for you.

Baby, I'm thinkin' of you
You are always on my mind, and I am trying to be a better partner for you.

Tryin' to be more of a man for you
I am striving to be the best version of myself, solely for you.

And I don't have much riches
I may not possess material wealth, but I am willing to commit to our relationship.

But we gonna see it through
Together, we will overcome any obstacles that come our way.

'Cause I love you
My love for you is the foundation of our relationship and will guide me through any challenges.

Some men need lots of women
Many people require numerous romantic partners to satisfy their desires.

For their passions to feel
They rely on this to fulfill their passions.

But I want only you, girl
I only desire you, and your love suffices to quench my passion.

If it's in, if it's in, if it's in God's will
If it is meant to be, if it is what God intends, then we will remain together.

'Cause I, 'cause I love you
I will maintain our relationship because of my deep and profound love for you.

I, I love you, baby
I want to reiterate that I love you.

With all my heart and soul
My love is not superficial but comes from the essence of my being.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing my love is deeply emotional and heartfelt.

Love you
I love you.

I need you
My love and devotion for you is necessary for me.

I want you
My desire for you is not solely based on a physical level but commences from my heart and soul.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh your love makes me grow stronger
Your love for me elevates and empowers me to be a better version of myself.

It keeps goin' on, oh, baby
Our love for each other remains strong and enduring.

I'm glad I found you
I am grateful to have found someone like you to share life with.

I just love to be around you, oh, baby
Being near you fills me with joy and happiness.

You've been so good to me
You have been kind and loving to me, and I appreciate it.

Hmm
An expression showing deep thought.

One time things got so bad until
Once, our relationship was in such dire straits that

I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him
I had to seek the advice of a friend.

And I told him, I said, "You know
I confided in him about my troubles, explaining that

I'm having problems with the woman that I love
I am experiencing challenges in my relationship with you.

It seems that I call her on the phone and I just can't get her to answer
My attempts to communicate with you have been unsuccessful.

And then I went to her house and I saw a car parked in the driveway
When I went to your place, there was another car in the driveway.

I knocked on the door, but still my knocks went unanswered
I knocked, but you did not answer.

And then I went home and I-I watched television until television went off
I returned home and tried to distract myself, but I could not stop thinking about you.

And then I played my records until I just didn't want to hear them anymore
I listened to music to alleviate my sadness, but eventually, I grew tired of it.

And finally I went to bed, but I found myself waking up a few hours later
I went to bed but could not sleep and found myself awake after few hours.

And the tears were running down my face"
I was crying.

And my friend told me, he said, "Lenny,
My friend attempted to console me and offered his advice.

You just oughta forget about her"
He encouraged me to forget about you.

But I told my friend, I said, "You know
I disagreed with my friend's advice and explained to him that

Maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love
Perhaps you have not experienced love the way I do.

And maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt"
You may not understand my feelings.

But this is what I told my friend
Nevertheless, I continued sharing my thoughts with my friend.

I said, "You know, sometimes you get lonely
I explained to him that you could feel lonely

You get lonely, you get lonely"
And at times it feels unbearable.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
An expression of sadness and loneliness.

And I cry, I cry
I am crying.

And the tears would fill up in the wells
I am crying so much that tears well up in my eyes.

In the wells of my eyes, baby
My eyes are filled with tears.

And then it got so bad, it got so bad
The situation was so unbearable.

Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up in a big ol' ball and die
I was so sad that I considered rolling up in a ball and dying.

And then I met you, darlin'
But then I met you, my love.

And you smiled at me
Your smile brought me great joy.

Oh, oh, it was such a pretty smile, yes, it was
Your smile was so beautiful.

And you reached out your hand
You showed me your support by reaching out your hand.

You helped me (Helped), you helped me (Helped me), you helped, oh
You offered me help and support.

I'm glad, baby, I'm glad, baby
I am happy and grateful to have you in my life.

I won't ever leave you, baby
I will never abandon you or our relationship.

I won't ever grieve you, baby
I will never intentionally cause you harm or pain.

I'm gonna love you, oh, oh, oh, baby
I am committed to loving you.

I'm glad, I'm glad, baby
I am happy and appreciative that you are with me.

Oh, oh, yeah, baby, oh, oh, oh
A celebratory expression of happiness.

I love you, I love you
I am expressing my love for you.

I love you, I love you, oh
I cannot overemphasize how much I love you.

I love you, I love you
My love for you is never-ending.

I love you, I love you
I love you more than words can describe.

I love you, I love you
I am hopelessly in love with you.
