One Time
Jessica Jade Lyrics

One time this time
In this particular instance, I finally have everything figured out

I got it all together
I have successfully organized and sorted everything

Two times last time
On a previous occasion, I began to experience the effects of the situation

I start to feel the weather
I am starting to sense the changes and challenges ahead

Three times last time
In a previous occurrence, I came to understand what you are doing

I realise what your doing
I have become aware of your actions and intentions

You've always had a hold on me
You have continuously had a strong influence and control over me

I've been chasing memories
I have been persistently pursuing memories of the past

For too long boy
For an extended period of time, I have been doing this, my dear

I've been holding on to you
I have been clinging onto you tightly

But it's all wrong
But my actions and emotions are misguided

It's bout time
It is about time for me to

I listen to what my girl says
I pay attention to the advice and guidance from my female friend

and I'm gonna go my way
and I am going to follow my own path

And not back to your place
and not return to your home or presence

I just want my paper
I simply desire my money or financial stability

I don't need the extra stress
I do not require additional anxiety or pressure

but you've been doing me dirty
but you have been treating me unfairly or dishonestly

better keep ya hands in check
it would be wise for you to control and restrain your actions

Uh hope that you get what you've been dying for
I hope that you achieve what you have been eagerly desiring

My love is not a test
My affection and care should not be treated as an experiment

so what you playing for
why are you pretending or engaging in games

(Woah) I know what I'm worth
I am aware of my own value and self-worth

(Woah) I'm not settling for nobody
I refuse to accept just anyone or lower my standards

(Woah) It's gonna get better
Things will improve over time

I put my trust in love
I place my confidence and belief in the power of love

Nobody ever told me how this would feel
No one ever informed me of the emotions and sensations I would experience in this situation

My momma never warned me that love was real
My mother never cautioned me that love is a genuine and profound emotion

I guess I always had it in the back of mind
I suppose I always had a subconscious awareness or expectation

That God would give me my time to cry
That God would grant me the opportunity to express my sadness

But it's not the last he says
However, there is more to come, according to Him

This aint the worst it gets
This is not the most severe or difficult situation I will encounter

Life is about the mess
Life is filled with chaos and disorder

Just make it all for the best
You simply need to make the most of it and turn it into a positive outcome
