One Thing
One Direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can't ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

(So) get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
You've got that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

(So) get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is




But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Overall Meaning

In One Direction's "One Thing," the singer is head over heels in love with someone they can't seem to get enough of. Even though they try to play it cool, whenever they look at this person, their heart races and they feel weak. The person has become their kryptonite and they can't resist them. They are going out of their mind, climbing the walls and dying to make the person they love see that they need them to be with them. The lyrics are clear about the singer's desire to be with this person and their longing for them to reciprocate their feelings.


The repetitive chorus, "So get out, get out, get out of my head, and fall into my arms instead" emphasizes the way the person's thoughts have taken over their mind and how desperately they want to be with them physically. The line "I don't, I don't, don't know what it is, but I need that one thing" portrays that the singer is confused but knows that they need this person in their life.


Overall, One Thing by One Direction is a catchy pop song that captures the feeling of being head over heels in love with someone and needing them in your life.


Line by Line Meaning

I've tried playing it cool
I tried to act nonchalant


But when I'm looking at you
But when I gaze at you


I can't ever be brave
I can never be courageous


'Cause you make my heart race
Because you make my heart beat fast


Shot me out of the sky
You hit me like a bullet from the sky


You're my kryptonite
You weaken me like Superman's weakness


You keep making me weak
You keep draining my strength


Yeah, frozen and can't breathe
I feel paralyzed and breathless


Something's gotta give now
Something has to change now


'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
Because I am desperate for you to notice me


That I need you here with me now
That I require your presence right now


'Cause you've got that one thing
Because you possess that unique quality


So get out, get out, get out of my head
So leave my thoughts, leave my thoughts, leave my thoughts


And fall into my arms instead
And come into my embrace instead


I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
I do not know what it is


But I need that one thing
But I require that one thing


And you've got that one thing
And you possess that one thing


Now I'm climbing the walls
Now I am going crazy


But you don't notice at all
But you are not aware of it at all


That I'm going out of my mind
That I am losing my sanity


All day and all night
Throughout the whole day and night


Cause I'm dying just to know your name
Because I am desperate to learn your name


So get out, get out, get out of my mind
So leave my thoughts, leave my thoughts, leave my thoughts


And come on, come into my life
And come, enter my life


You've got that one thing
You have that unique quality

💍One Thing💍
 (前半和訳)


I’ve tried playing it cool
🩵クールな自分を演じてきた

But when I’m looking at you
🩵でも君を見ていると

I can never be brave
🩵少し臆病になってしまうんだ

Cause you make my heart race
🩵だって心臓が暴れ回るから

Shot me out of the sky
🩵あの広がる空に飛ばしてよ

You’re my kryptonite
🩵君といると僕の無力さに気づく

You keep making me weak
🩵僕の弱点は君なんだよ

Yeah, frozen and can’t breathe
🩵凍りついて息ができなくなる

Some things gotta get loud
🩵なんとかしなくちゃいけない

Cause if not, they just don’t make you see
🩵君だけにはわかってもらいたいから

That I need you here with me now
🩵今ここに僕の横にいてほしいのは君なんだよ

Course you’ve got that one thing
🩵かけがえのないものを君は持ってるから

So get out, get out, get out of my head
🩵君が僕の頭の中から出て

And fall into my arms instead
🩵腕の中に落ちてくれたら良いのに

I don’t,I don’t, don’t know what it is
🩵何かはわからない

But I need that one thing
🩵けど僕はそれがほしいんだ

And you’ve got that one thing
🩵そして君はその特別なものを持っている



@jimmy_3305

Harry had his curls
Louis wasn’t a dad
Liam had his buzz cut
Niall had blonde hair
Zayn was still had no tattos
One Direction was One Direction



The good times...
