One And Only
Toia Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time,
Just thinking of your face,
God only knows why it's taken me
So long to let my doubts go,
You're the only one that I want,
I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forget your past and simply be mine,
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worthy,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me the chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,
If I've been on your mind,
You hang on every word I say,
Lose yourself in time,
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close,
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose, you'll go?
I don't know why I'm scared,
'Cause I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forget your past and simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worth it, mm,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's perfect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worth it,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove that I am the, one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,
Come on and give me a chance,
To prove that I am the one who can, walk that mile,
Until the end starts.
In "One and Only," Toia Jones sings about her desire to be with someone who has been on her mind and whom she believes is worth the risk. She admits to being scared because this person's past has made her doubt the possibility of a future together. However, she is willing to take that chance and asks him to give her a chance to show that she is worthy of being his one and only.
The lyrics express the universal theme of taking risks and opening oneself up to love, even when fear or the past might tempt us to hold back. The repetition of certain lines like "You'll never know if you never try" and "I know it ain't easy giving up your heart" emphasizes the importance of taking that leap of faith and letting go of one's doubts and fears.

I don't know why it took me so long
So long to let my doubts go,
Took a long time to overcome my worries
You're the only one that I want,
You're the only person I desire
I don't know why I'm scared,
I'm afraid of getting hurt

I've experienced this feeling previously
Every feeling, every word,

You listen to me intently
At the mention of my name,
Just hearing my name makes a difference to you
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close,
Will I ever get the chance to be physically intimate with you
And have you tell me
And hear you say
Whichever road I choose, you'll go?
That you'll be there for me no matter what
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
I understand that it's difficult to be vulnerable
Nobody's perfect,
Everyone has flaws
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
(I understand that it's difficult to open up)
Trust me I've learned it,
I know from experience
Come on and give me a chance,
Give me the opportunity
To prove that I am the one who can, walk that mile,
Show that I can be the one for you
