Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then we parted broken-hearted and now all the fun is through
You can't hide it, keep it quiet me needin' you, you haven't heard
Don't deny it, we can try it…I need your lovin' too
You had your hand in hers, you were smilin'
Oh baby don't you know it, I can smile all the while baby I'll be cryin'
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me
Oh what ya do, what you're doin' to me
I got the feelin' that you're runnin', run too far from me
No, I don't care if she's there, she ain't got nothin' on me
Oh she can have ya, I just want you one more time baby listen to me
Just one more time I gotta feel your arms around me
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me
No, I don't care if she's there, she ain't got nothin' on me
Oh she can have ya, I just want you one more time baby give it to me
Just one more time I gotta feel your arms around me
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, I gotta see you, I gotta see you
One more time, oh-oh baby, oh-oh darlin'
Just one more, one more time, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra's song Just One More Time tell the story of a couple who have broken up but still have feelings for each other. It starts with reminiscing about the past when they were in love, but now they have lost that feeling. Despite their separation, the singer is still drawn to their former partner and can't help but express their love. They plead for one more chance, one more embrace, one more moment together, even if they know it will hurt them again.
The lyrics juxtapose the singer's desire for their former partner's embrace with their internal struggle. On one hand, they crave the comfort and experience of being held, but on the other hand, they also know that it will only reignite past emotions and cause them pain again. This duality is expressed through the chorus, where the singer sings "Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mounting? Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'. Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me."
Overall, Just One More Time is a song about the conflicting emotions one experiences after a break-up. It captures the deep-rooted feelings of attachment and capture, even when the relationship is well past its expiration date.

When we started open-hearted it was me lovin' you, you lovin' me
At the beginning of our relationship, we loved each other with open hearts
Then we parted broken-hearted and now all the fun is through
After we broke up, we were left with broken hearts and the relationship lost its joy
You can't hide it, keep it quiet me needin' you, you haven't heard
I can't hide how much I need you, even though you haven't heard it from me
Don't deny it, we can try it…I need your lovin' too
Let's not deny our feelings, we can try a new relationship because I need your love too
You had your hand in hers, you were smilin'
I saw you holding hands with another woman and smiling
Oh baby don't you know it, I can smile all the while baby I'll be cryin'
Even though I can smile, I'll be crying inside because of the pain you've caused me
Just one more time I gotta feel your arms around me
I need to feel your embrace one more time before moving on
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Can't you feel the urgency building up to be with you one more time?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
One more time, my love
Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me
Can't you see how much it's affecting me?
Oh what ya do, what you're doin' to me
What you're doing to me is causing me pain
I got the feelin' that you're runnin', run too far from me
I sense that you're running away from me and our relationship
No, I don't care if she's there, she ain't got nothin' on me
I don't care if she's with you now because she can never replace me
Oh she can have ya, I just want you one more time baby listen to me
She can have you for now, but I just need you one more time
Just one more time, I gotta see you, I gotta see you
I need to see you one last time before moving on
Just one more time, oh-oh baby, oh-oh darlin'
One more time, my love
Just one more, one more time, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
One more time, please
