One More Day
The Hoots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a step above the rest
Oh, a red hot mess
And in my time I thought I knew what I want
Yes, I had no doubt
I had it all figured out
We were playing a game
We danced around it
We're feeling the same
No doubt about it
Oh, won't you tell me that you love me again
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
Yes, it's true
Girl, I gotta say, the game has been fun
We've played it night and day
And no one has won
And in that time I thought I knew what i want
Yes, I had you figured out, I was feeling so proud
Then you laid it on me
How could this be
You played on my heart strings and walked out for free
You turned around and almost shut the door
But baby, please, can you just tell me once more
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
But now I'm blue
Then you laid it on me
How could this be
You even took the time to write me an apology
I read it and seeped
I don't wanna let you get away
I can't go through my life without you here to say
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
One more time
Let me hear you say "I love you"
Yes, I do (One more time)
Yes, I do
One more time
One more time (One more time)
Ooh

Girl, I gotta say, you sure do pull off that dress
You look absolutely amazing in that dress
You're a step above the rest
You are exceptional compared to others
Oh, a red hot mess
You're stunningly attractive but also chaotic
And in my time I thought I knew what I want
In the past, I believed I knew exactly what I desired
Yes, I had no doubt
I was completely confident
I had it all figured out
I had a clear plan in mind
We were playing a game
Our relationship was like a game
We danced around it
We avoided addressing the real issues
Oh, I never thought we would end up like this
I never imagined our situation would turn out this way
We're feeling the same
We share the same emotions
No doubt about it
There's absolutely no uncertainty
Oh, won't you tell me that you love me again
Please express your love for me once more
Girl, I gotta say, the game has been fun
I have to admit, the game we played was enjoyable
We've played it night and day
We engaged in it constantly
And no one has won
Neither of us emerged as the victor
Then you laid it on me
You revealed the truth to me
How could this be
I couldn't understand how this had happened
You played on my heart strings and walked out for free
You toyed with my emotions and left without consequence
You turned around and almost shut the door
You nearly closed the door on our relationship
But baby, please, can you just tell me once more
But darling, please, can you repeat it to me just one more time
You even took the time to write me an apology
You put effort into writing me an apology
I read it and seeped
I absorbed its contents
I don't wanna let you get away
I don't want to let you slip out of my grasp
I can't go through my life without you here to say
I can't live my life without you by my side saying
One more time
Once again
Let me hear you say "I love you"
Please say "I love you" to me
Yes, I do (One more time)
Yes, I still love you (One more time)
One more time
Once again
One more time (One more time)
Once again (Once more)
Ooh
Expression of excitement or realization

Nice job sounded real good thanks for sharing I have a lot of covers if you get a chance check some of them out good job !!
Paul Gallant
Her voice sounds like Alison Krauss! good job
Jennifer Segner
that. was. beautiful. I'm happy I found the right cover of a girl singing this song. I wanted it to be a girl singing it so that I would relate to it more. My parents were killed in an accident 3 years ago this song really resonates with me. thank you for being the voice that personalized it more for my situation. Since I'm a girl it's nice to hear a girl singing it. I don't know why and that probably sounds like it makes no sense but grief doesn't make sense sometimes. Anyway. I love your cover of this song. Thank you for singing.
Alicia Millea
This was amazing!

Nice job guys-I'm not a big fan of country but appreciate talented vocalists/musicians.
An old friend of ours lost her husband of 40 years this past week and choose this song for her husband's memorial service at the funeral home last night.
Pretty song.
