One Time
P.O.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your expressions speak louder than words
And i can tell right now that you've got a lot to say
So get it off your chest, cause I'm listening
And show me who I am, so I can change
We'll never change if our thinking stays the same

I like it when you smile
I need to feel you smile
I love to see you smile
Smile like that for me!

And I can see you smile, glowing on your face
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away
Your lookin in my eyes, there's nothing left to say
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away

Without hissing threats, It cuts to the bone
And it shows me the things, I think I already know
But sometimes I don't like the way it makes me feel
And even if you got it, I only want it if it's real
Cause it reminds me when I'm not listening
It doesn't matter to the things that matter the most

I like it when you smile
I need to feel you smile
I love to see you smile
Smile like that for me!

And I can see you smile, glowing on your face
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away
Your lookin in my eyes, there's nothing left to say
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away

I like it when you smile
I need to feel you smile
I love to see you smile
Smile like that for me!

And I can see you smile, glowing on your face
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away
Lookin in my eyes, nothing left to say
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away

And I can see you smile, glowing on your face
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away




Lookin in my eyes, nothing left to say
And Every Time I Die, you take it all away

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the song "One Time" by P.O.P. explores the power of expressions and the impact they can have on relationships and personal growth. The singer recognizes that sometimes actions and nonverbal communication can convey more meaning than words themselves. They express their willingness to listen and understand what the other person has to say, hoping to discover more about themselves and potentially change for the better.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of the other person's smile, indicating that it brings joy and happiness to the singer's life. They crave and need to feel that positive energy and see the person they care about genuinely happy. The repetition of the line "Smile like that for me!" further emphasizes the desire for that genuine and heartfelt expression.


The next stanza delves deeper into the impact the other person's presence has on the singer. The smile is described as "glowing on your face" and being so powerful that it takes away all the negative emotions, symbolized by the phrase "Every Time I Die, you take it all away." It shows that the other person has the ability to uplift the singer and bring positivity into their life, leaving them speechless in the best way possible.


However, the following lines convey a slight sense of conflict or discomfort. The singer acknowledges that there might be instances when the other person's honesty or directness cuts deeply, revealing truths that the singer might have known but doesn't necessarily like. Despite this discomfort, the singer values authenticity above all else, stating that they only want something if it's real. It serves as a reminder that sometimes we need to confront the uncomfortable truths in order to grow and make changes.


Overall, these lyrics depict a deep appreciation for the impact of expressions and genuine emotions in relationships. The other person's smile brings immense joy and happiness to the singer, taking away their worries. The song also highlights the importance of honest communication, even if it leads to discomfort, as it helps in personal growth and building genuine connections.
