One Time
T. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Oh oh oh how I miss you so
Oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh, how I miss you so, oh, I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh, how I love you so, oh, I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh, how I miss you so, oh, I love you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
If I could see you just one time
Wish I could see you one more time
T. Smith's song One Time is a lament about a lost love that the singer is yearning to see again. The first verse expresses the immense relief that would come just from seeing the person once more. Holding the person would provide a similar sense of comfort, allowing the singer to pretend that they are still together. However, the second verse brings up the painful reality that the person's affection has since transferred to someone else. The love that used to belong to the singer is now gone. The chorus repeats the desire to see the person just one time, highlighting the intensity of the singer's longing to relive their past love.
The song is full of heartache and sorrow, with the singer seemingly unable to let go of the past. The lyrics offer a window into the raw emotions and pain of a failed relationship, as the desire to see the person one more time becomes all-consuming. The yearning expressed in the lyrics suggests that the singer is unable to move on from the relationship and remains stuck in a cycle of longing.
Overall, T. Smith's One Time is a powerful ballad that showcases the deep pain of lost love and the unrelenting desire to see that person just one more time.

Never had to work for love
Don't need you to show me how
Don't want to be falling in
When I'm falling out
Didn't think I'd give for love
Every time I hold it back
Now there’s lust in my head
I'm tryna find who I am
There's choosers, there's takers
There's beggin' heartbreakers
I don't wanna be that way
You will never hear me say
"Come hold me, console me"
When, really, I'm lonely
Even if I feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
When I Need someone
I don't want to need no one
I'm not tryna let you in
Even if I've found the one
Never had to wait for love
Always thought it'd come around
You come for me
But I'm nowhere to be found
Cancellations for conversations
I don't need right now
I'm afraid of these relations
I can't be tied down
There's choosers, there's takers
There's beggin' heartbreakers
I don't wanna be that way
I don't wanna feel this way
When I Need someone
I don't wanna need no one
I'm not tryna let you in
Even if I've found the one
I don't wanna feel this way
When I Need someone
I don't wanna need no one
I'm not tryna let you in
Even if I've found the one

TRADUCTION THE ONE - JORJA SMITH
Je n'ai jamais dû marcher pour aimer
Je n'ai pas besoin que tu me montres comment
Je ne veux pas m'effondrer
Quand je tombe
Je ne pensais pas que je donnerais (tout) par amour
Chaque fois, je retiens
Maintenant, le désir est dans ma tête
J'essaie de découvrir qui je suis
Il y a ceux qui choisissent, il y a ceux qui prennent
Il y a ceux qui supplient, ceux qui brisent les cœurs
Je ne veux pas être ainsi
Tu ne m'entendras jamais dire
Viens, serre-moi, console-moi
Quand vraiment, je suis seule
Même si je me sens comme ça
Je ne me veux pas me sentir comme ça
Quand je....
J'ai besoin de quelqu'un
Je ne veux pas avoir besoin de personne
Je ne cherche pas à te faire entrer
Même si je craque, ne t'inquiète pas
Je n'ai jamais été obligée d'attendre l'amour
J'ai toujours pensé qu'il viendrait à moi
Tu viens pour moi
Mais je suis introuvable
Tu te consoles avec les conversations
Maintenant, je n'en ai pas besoin
J'ai peur que ces liens
Ne se défassent (Ils ne vont pas se défaire ?)
Il y a ceux qui choisissent, il y a ceux qui prennent
Il y a ceux qui supplient, ceux qui brisent les cœurs
Je ne veux pas être ainsi
Tu ne m'entendras jamais dire
Viens, serre-moi, console-moi
Quand vraiment, je suis seule
Même si je me sens comme ça
Je ne me veux pas me sentir comme ça
Quand je....
J'ai besoin de quelqu'un
Je ne veux pas avoir besoin de personne
Je ne cherche pas à te faire entrer
Même si je craque, ne t'inquiète pas
Je ne veux pas me sentir comme ça
Quand je...
J'ai besoin de quelqu'un
Je ne veux pas avoir besoin de personne
Je ne cherche pas à te faire entrer
Même si je craque, ne t'inquiète pas

There's Choosers (Picky)
There's Takers (Complacent)
There's Begging (Desperate)
Heartbreakers (Inconsiderate)
It's crazy how simple she broke this down in the hook, and when you look back, most of us have been (or know someone who has been) one of these people.
What I love about the video is that Jorja tries to leave someone who may or may not seem to care, especially when she herself has mixed feelings about the relationship, because she doesn't want to be too attached, but she's so afraid of her own loneliness that she can't seem to slip away. Yet, at the very end, she realizes how she'll be fine on her own, once she leaves that part of herself behind.
GET. THIS. GIRL. A. GRAMMY.

Our worst enemy is ourselves. Self sabotaging our happiness because we feel we don't deserve it.

I don’t think the song describes an abusive relationship. I feel it’s more of an internal struggle with relationships-she knows herself, and knows how needing someone changes her mentally. Whether it be choosers, takers, beggars, or heartbreakers, she doesn’t want to see herself as any of those qualities to protect herself and possible partners. So she cuts ties even if it means losing the possibility of a soul mate because having a soul mate or the perfect partner can still make someone become self destructive from being needy.
@hadjeromaramrani919
Exactly ! !
