Only Want You
Rita Ora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna another night
Trying find another you, another rock bottom
I don't wanna wear another mini dress
To impress, a potential problem
I don't wanna spend the night at someone's place
And fill the space that you used to walk in
I don't wanna know the number in my phone
To wanna hold at three in the morning

I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah
Don't want somebody brand new
I only want you, I only want you yeah
Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya
Just in need, just in need, just
I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah

I know I'm the one who ruined everything
And made you think that it was all your fault
And I know the story's only just a word
But, when it hurts, it isn't that simple
But, I know that if you look me in the eyes
You can't deny there is something different
And I know I'm drawn looking for your kiss
Someone's lips to know that I miss ya

I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah
Don't want somebody brand new
I only want you, I only want you yeah
Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya
Just in need, just in need, just
I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah

I don't wanna another night
Of trying find another you, another rock bottom
I don't wanna wear another mini dress
To impress, a potential problem

I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah
I don't want somebody brand new
I only want you, I only want you yeah
Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya
Just in need, just in need, just
I don't want somebody like you
I only want you, I only want you yeah

Overall Meaning

She admits that she doesn't want to have to search for another person to replace him or place herself in potentially problematic situations just to find temporary happiness. The lyrics reveal that she is aware of the mistakes she made in the past that led to their separation, but she is willing to try again if given the chance. She sings that she only wants him and nobody else, even though she had to leave him before. She is in need of his love and can't imagine herself with anyone else. She hopes that he can see the change in her and reconcile their love.


The lyrics of the song convey the message of the depth of love that can sometimes survive despite the challenges of a relationship.
