Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I need is somebody that's down for me
And he don't have to have money
His love is like honey it so sweet to me
He can have anything in this world
But hell sacrifice it all for me
And I made up my mind I'm in love this time
And it feels so real
And I
Know that he won't break my heart
And I
Know that we won't never part
This time
Time for us to settle down
And I
Want to be with him forever
They can say that I am crazy
For making him my baby
But that's how its gone be
See I done been trough many changes
But this one I ant changing
It gone stay the same
I can have anything in this world
But I'll sacrifice it all for him and I made
Up my mind I'm in love this
Time and it feels so real
And I
Know that he won't break my heart
And I
Know that we won't never part
This time
Time for us to settle down
And I
Want to be with him forever
I love you (and all of the things)
You do
(Oh baby please)I need you
(So believe me) I do
I love you (and all of the things)
You do
(Oh baby please)I need you
(So believe me) I do
They don't know how I feel
'Cause I know this is real
And I
Know that he won't break my heart
And I
Know that we won't never part
This time
Time for us to settle down
And I
Want to be with him forever
The lyrics to Ron and Shelly Hamilton's song One by One speak to the idea of true love and commitment, highlighting that sometimes what matters most is not the superficial aspects of a person’s life, such as their wealth or social status, but rather their willingness to invest and sacrifice for the sake of their relationship. The verses essentially relay the singer's understanding that her partner is someone she can trust, someone who will stand by her and make sacrifices for her just as she would for him. She recognizes that this love is different from anything she's experienced before, and therefore it's worth fighting for, even if others view it as crazy.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer’s commitment and loyalty to her partner, stating her certainty that he won’t break her heart and that they will never part. This serves to reinforce the idea that their love is both enduring and unbreakable. The song ends with repetitions of the phrase “I love you and all the things you do,” which further emphasizes the importance of appreciating and valuing one's partner for who they are and the sacrifices they make in the relationship.
