You're the Only One
Sydney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to want me
But you just gonna love me for the day
And I can't just walk away
Even though I know you're trouble babe

So I'mma take my time
Go with the flow, can't get too involved
You got a face that I
Just can't say no to
Just can't say no to you

You know I want you baby
You know I do
I'll give you my heart and the rest is up to you
You ain't no good for me, I know it's true
But you don't have to be
Cause I do it for the thrill, for the rush
I do it for the pain, for your touch
When I OD, when it's too much
If I survive, baby you're the one
You're the one

Babe

I feel like I'm walking
The tightrope of love in your circus babe
If I were a fella it'd be my last day
Even though you're right under me

So I'mma take my time
Go with the flow, can't get too involved
You got a face that I just can't say no to
Just can't say no to you

You know I want you baby
You know I do
I'll give you my heart and the rest is up to you
You ain't no good for me, I know its true
But you don't have to be, cause I do it
For the thrill, for the rush
I do it for the pain, for your touch
When I OD, when it's too much




If I survive, baby you're the one
You're the one

Overall Meaning

The song "You're the Only One" by Sydney is about a tumultuous relationship where the singer knows that the other person is no good for them, but they can't help but be drawn to them. They want the other person to want them back, but they're resigned to the fact that the other person is only interested in a temporary fling. Sydney sings about how she's willing to take things slow and not get too attached, but the other person's allure is too strong. She compares the relationship to a tightrope in a circus and acknowledges that it's likely to end badly for her, but she's still willing to take the risk. Ultimately, the singer is doing everything for the thrill, the rush of the intense relationship, and the pain that comes with it.


The lyrics in "You're the Only One" are very introspective and reveal much about the singer's state of mind. She is in a situation that is clearly not going to end well, and yet she is unable to help herself. The song touches on themes of addiction, thrill-seeking, and self-destructive behavior. The lyrics are honest and raw, and they paint a picture of someone who is at once vulnerable and powerful.
