One Time
Lola Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knocking on your front door drunk
The sun comes up, I′m a loaded gun
Let myself into your place
Broke in through the fire escape
I missed your calls so I'll climb your walls
I′ve had just enough of reality
Yeah, I shoulda called ahead
But I played it cool instead
You're not my type, but you are tonight
I can only happen to you one time, one time
No way that tomorrow could be last night, be last night
Maybe you're just enough, no need to stay in touch
I can only happen to you one time
When I come at your expеnse
I′ll be scaling your back fencе
When I get done I′ll be on the run
You're only gonna be one of
I′m never gonna fall in love
We're just good friends, you′re not my godsend
I've had just enough of your vanity
Now I′m ready to fuck with your fantasy
Why you gotta complicate everything you're feeling?
I don't need heartfelt, I can touch myself
I can only happen to you, one time, one time
No way that tomorrow could be last night, be last night
Maybe you′re just enough, no need to stay in touch
I can only happen to you one time (One time)
You think I want you
But you′ve just misunderstood all of my rules
You're just one of my fools
You think I want you
But you′ve just misunderstood all of my rules
You're just one of my fools
I can only happen to you one time, one time
No way that tomorrow could be last night, be last night
Maybe you′re just enough, no need to stay in touch
I can only happen to you one time
Oh, you can be so hysterical
Oh, you believe it was magical
Maybe you're just enough, no need to stay in touch
I can only happen to you one time (One time)
Lola Scott's song "One Time" is about a woman who is not looking for love. She wants to live for the moment and fulfill her fantasies. The song starts with her drunk and knocking on the door of someone she finds attractive. She lets herself into his place through the fire escape and confesses that she has had enough of reality. She is searching for a way to escape from her everyday routine, and for her, this is the perfect opportunity.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that this moment is special, and it cannot be repeated. Lola repeats that she can only happen to this person one time, so they should enjoy it while it lasts. The second verse suggests that she is the kind of person who doesn't want any complications. She emphasizes that she only needs to please herself and that everything else is just a waste of time. The second chorus repeats the same lines as the first, indicating that Lola is not interested in forming a lasting relationship.
Lola Scott's "One Time" is about a person who lives in the present and doesn't want to think about the future. She wants to have fun and enjoy the moment. She is not interested in any permanent commitments or relationships. The song is a reminder to live in the present and not to take things too seriously.
