Only One
Justice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet sweet baby mine
I want you 'round me all the time
Cause you know you make my soul sing
And the bells in my heart go chime chime chime

Sweet sweet baby mine
I'm short of breath and full of sighs
Yeah you set my sprit soaring
And you make my lovelight shine shine shine

I'm gracin' the edge
I'm losing my head
I'm fallin'
But I don't mind

You set the fire
Inside my soul
And the heat
Makes it hard to say no
I didn't wanna lose control
But I'm fallin'

Sweet sweet baby mine
I want you round me all the time
Cause you know you make my soul sing
And the bells in my heart go chime chime chime

Sweet sweet baby mine
If the way I'm feelin' is a crime
Oh honey, then I'm guilty
Cause you got my heart beatin' double time time time

I'm gracin' the edge
I'm losing my head




I'm fallin'
But I don't mind

I still to this day, cannot describe how this felt hearing it and seeing it performed live for the first time.

And then being completely and utterly blown away for the rest of the show.

It's been years since I've played this and right now, I'm surprised how fresh it sounds.

That 2007 era was actually a phoenix moment for not only electronic dance music but the french touch movement as a whole.

I need more now
