Only One
The Game ft. Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where you been?
Where you been all my life?
Girl you glistening, the way you look in the light
It's obvious that I want something from you
You know what, what I wanna do, do, do

Every time it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine
What it'll be like
Oh, every time, it would bring me to life
I can 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

I saw you from afar
Thought I'd say wassup
You can tell me your name, when we wakin' up
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 a beauty
Man I think somebody dun gave Cupid a Uzi, shoot me
You're a firework, brighter in the dark
So lets turn off the lights and give me that spark

Every time it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine what it'd be like
Oh every time it would bring me to life
I can 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

I want to let her touch me, one touch will feel free
I want to feel free, she can kiss me
So I can finally be, so I can finally see, so I can finally see

I saw you from afar
Thought I'd say wassup
You can tell me your name, when we wakin' up
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 a beauty
Man I think somebody dun gave Cupid a Uzi, shoot me




You're a firework, brighter in the dark
So lets turn off the lights and give me that spark

Heard this on the radio, and I needed to download it instantly.
Chris still has that voice that drew me to liking him back in 2007. I was only 7 years old, but I still had taste in songs.

Ms. Brown

It's played a little here and there on the radio when it should be played often. I love this song so much. ❤

Heard this on the radio last night and I was loving this 90s vibe. Had no idea it was Diddy's son. He sounds just like his dad.

The song is a reboot of a song that came out in the 90s
