Baby, it's a sin, the way you look in the light
It's obvious that I want something from you
And you know what, what I wanna do, do, do
If we touched, it would bring me to life
I could only imagine, only imagine what it'd be like
Oh, every time, it would bring me to life
What it'd be like, what it'd be like
What it'd be like, like, like
What it'd be like, like, like, like, like, like
And I saw you, saw you, saw you, saw you from afar
Thought I'd say, "Wassup?"
You can tell me your name when we wakin' up
They-they-they call me Tunechi, I'm good, I'm Gucci
Now you can kiss your old dude goodbye, smooches
You're a beast, you're-you're a beauty
Man, I think somebody done gave Cupid a Uzi
Sh-shoot me, you're a firework, brighter in the dark
So let's turn off the lights, and give me that spark
If we touched, it would bring me to life
I could only imagine, only imagine what it'd be like
Oh, every time, it would bring me to life
I could only imagine, only imagine
What it'd be like, what it'd be like
What it'd be like, like, like
What it'd be like, like, like, like, like
I want your love to touch me, one touch will feel free
(It would bring me to life)
I want to feel free, so I can finally be (if you kiss me)
So I can finally be (now), so I can finally see (kiss me now)
So I can finally see (kiss me now) what, what, what
And I saw you, saw you, saw you, saw you from afar
Thought I'd say, "Wassup?"
You can tell me your name when we wakin' up
They-they-they call me Tunechi, I'm good, I'm Gucci
Now you can kiss your old dude goodbye, smooches
You're a beast, you're-you're a beauty
Man, I think somebody done gave Cupid a Uzi
Sh-shoot me, you're a firework, brighter in the dark
So let's turn off the lights, and give me that spark
What it'd be like
The song "Only One" by THE GAME feat Chris Brown is a romantic track that talks about a man who finally found the girl of his dreams. The opening lines, "Where you been? Where you been all my life?" show the man's surprise at finding someone so perfect for him. He describes the girl as glistening and beautiful, which makes it obvious that he wants something from her. The chorus serves as a plea to the girl, stating that the thought of being with her brings him to life and he can only imagine what it would be like to be with her intimately.
In the next verse, rapper Lil Wayne also expresses his interest in the girl and implores her to kiss him so he can feel free. The line, "You’re a beast, you're a beauty" portrays the girl as both strong and attractive, and Wayne imagines that Cupid must have given him a gun to be able to fall for her so hard. Lastly, they both agree that the chemistry between them is so strong that they should turn off the lights and "give me that spark."

Where you been?
I haven't seen you before, where have you been?

Girl you glistening, the way you look in the light
You're shining and catching my attention with the way you look in the light
It’s obvious that I want something from you
I have a clear desire to have something from you
You know what, what I wanna do, do, do
You already know what my intentions are and what I want to do with you
Every time it would bring me to life
Being with you excites me and brings me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine / What it’ll be like
I can't help but imagine what it would be like to be with you
Oh, every time, it would bring me to life
Just the thought of being with you is enough to excite me
I saw you from afar
I noticed you from a distance
Thought I’d say wassup
I wanted to say hi to you

You should end your current relationship because I'm here now
You’re a beast, you're a beauty
You have a wild and attractive side to you
Man I think somebody dun gave Cupid a Uzi, shoot me
You're so beautiful that it feels like Cupid has upgraded his weapon to an Uzi and shot me with love
You’re a firework, brighter in the dark
You shine brighter than anything else in the dark
So lets turn off the lights and give me that spark
Let's turn off the lights and get intimate, I want that spark between us
I want to let her touch me, one touch will feel free
I crave physical touch from her and believe it will bring me a sense of freedom
I want to feel free, she can kiss me
Being with her and receiving a kiss will bring me the sense of freedom I desire
So I can finally be, so I can finally see, so I can finally see
Being with her will finally allow me to be my true self and see things clearly
What it’d be like, what it’d be like / What it’d be like, like, like / What it’d be like, like, like
I can't stop myself from daydreaming about what it would be like to be with her
