You're the Only One
The Lillingtons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was it you?
The movies on tv
You mess me up
Now I can't even get to sleep
And when I get up
About a quarter to two
You know I'm
Gonna spend another 30 minutes with you

Cuz all the girls in my town, whoa
They don't have a clue
And none of them can compare to you

Cuz you're the only one, the only girl for me
You're the only one, the only girl for me
You're the only one, the only girl for me
You're the only one, the only girl for me





You're the only one, the only girl for me (Hey!)

Overall Meaning

In this song, The Lillingtons express their infatuation with a girl who has left a strong impression on them. The singer confesses that he's having trouble sleeping because he's been thinking about her, and even when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he spends more time fantasizing about her. The chorus reveals that the girl they're referring to is the only one they're interested in, no one else comes close in comparison.


The lyrics showcase a deep admiration for this girl, highlighting that she has something special that makes her stand out among all the other girls in their town. The reference to the movies on TV may suggest that the girl in question has captured the singer's attention in the same way as a movie plot captures its audience. The song's catchy chorus is a repetitive reminder of the girl's effect on the band.


Overall, the song is illustrating the power of attraction and the effect it can have on individuals. It conveys a sense of urgency to pursue this love interest and gives listeners insight into what infatuation feels like.

There's something magical about their music. Despite the fact that all their songs sound similar, I could listen to them all day long and never get bored. \m/

my favorite music, when i'am down i play this music, and in a minute i'm happy again. Green Day is the best in my opinion.

I've come to the conclusion that they're like if The Ramones and Teenage Bottlerocket had a kid. And he fuckin rocked!
