One In A Million
Otto Knows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swear my head was spinning
Right from the beginning
Never thought I'd fall this hard
Perfectly pretending
We don't have an ending
If we never start at all

Fooling yourself
They say you gotta let me, gotta let me go
I'm losing myself
So I gotta let you, gotta let you know

All the diamonds and pearls
Wouldn't know what you're worth
'Cause you're one in a million
Always putting you first
Feel the heat of my love
Oh, get out of the kitchen now
Baby, when will you learn?
Are you really concerned with competition?
Give me more than just words
I mean, haven't you heard?
That you're one in a million now

Holding my breath every time we're alone
Holding my breath every time you get home
I don't really worry though, in a hurry, no
I don't really worry though, no
Maybe we should let it go? Need to let it go
I don't really worry though, no

History's repeating
Call you on the weekend
Telling you to take your time
I may be naive and hopelessly believing
I could ever make you mine

Fooling yourself
They say you gotta let me, gotta let me go
I'm losing myself
So I gotta let you, gotta let you know

I always know what to say
But never straight to your face
'Cause you're one in a million
I tangle up in a phase
Then I stutter away
Like a bad politician now
Like we're moving in place
Baby, playing it safe
Won't make no difference, yeah
I mean, one of these days
You gotta do what it takes
'Cause you're one in a million now

Holding my breath every time we're alone
I don't really worry though
Holding my breath every time you get
I don't really




I don't really worry though
I don't really

I only know you over one song, Dying For You. And till now it's still in my personal playlist.
I am coming with my fan account.
If you had your time, please reconsider this. Can you check this song title 'Light' by Korean singer, named Jeong EunJi. It's her unreleased song.
I don't know how I have this courage to writing all these. Maybe because everytime I listen to the song, I always remember you and thinking, what if you can work with her remaking the song.
I believe she had no idea at all about you.
But. She's my only, one in a million.
Anw.
Thanks for reading this. I know I have a really small chance and maybe people will call me as a crazy fan. Well that's okay. Fact I am crazy in love with her.
Thank you very much. THANKS.
Sincerely, your fans too.
