One and Only
Timbaland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I really can't deal with, deal with
I want to block her out my mind
But I really can't do it, do it
I tell myself this the last time
I'ma let her do this to me
Whenever we do spend time
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
If I could start with words 'cause it's the only hope of feasting I got left
And everything I love about you is a mess
Smash the mirror and break the palm in his hand
I want to be better than I am
Let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
Girl, just look what you've done
How could you do this to me?
I gotta put my foot down
I can't let you do this to me
I can't forget those good ole times
And all the things you've been doing to me
I wanna hit that one more time
I mean love, what you're doing to me
I'ma say it loud, right here
Let's **** in this crowd
Why we arguing
I thought me and you were supposed to be friends
Let's chill for minute
Better yet we need a heal for a minute
Baby, put down the knife
Sometime I wanna save ya life, why don't you
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
We ain't got no *** band
We ain't got no stinking the *** microphone setter
Timbaland, you tuned in, son of a b***
Let's get this f*** out of my house now
Before I get to my and I can't turn back
Hey, didn't I say you to f*** out
Get the f*** out
The lyrics of Timbaland's song "One and Only" describe a tumultuous relationship that the singer can't seem to let go of. He expresses his frustration with himself for being so drawn to this person that he can't block her out of his mind. Despite telling himself that this is the last time he'll let her have this power over him, he can't seem to resist her. The chorus repeatedly urges the subject of his affection to "wipe that smile off [her] **** face" and acknowledges that he is "right in the middle" of being despised and loved by her.
The second verse is more introspective, with the singer admitting that he is a mess and wants to be better than he is. He pleads with his partner to put down the knife and stop hurting him, and suggests that they take a break and heal before continuing their relationship. The song ends with the singer telling the subject to get out of his house before he loses his temper.
Overall, the song is a powerful portrayal of a relationship that is both appealing and destructive. The singer is torn between his love for the subject and the harm she causes him, and the lyrics suggest that he may not be able to escape her grasp.
