One Day You'll Be Mine
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm saying
Yeah, you gon' be mine
First time I saw you, baby
You did something to me
That no else has ever done, ooh
It's something in your eyes caught me by surprise
But what's bad is I know you got a man
And he'll never understand
The chemistry between me and you, oh, baby
Something inside of me (inside of me)
Is saying you and I were meant to be
If you can think it, you can have it
That why I believe
One day you'll be mine (one day you'll be mine)
(Ooh, baby, aw sugar) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
(Said, one day you'll be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (creeping, sleeping)
Whispering when he's around (whispering around)
Now, every time I see you, baby, it's plain to see
That I'm everything you've been missing at home, babe, ohh
So much love to share, it's something in the air
Telling me I should never leave you alone
But even though I know you got a man
He'll never understand
The chemistry between me and you, oh baby
You can try to stop it, but it won't quit
You say you don't when I know that you want it
I know, one day you'll be mine
One day you'll be mine
(Oh, girl, said you'd be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
You'll be mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (girl)
Whispering when he's around (ooh yeah)
(To the beat)
One day you'll be mine (rock on)
(One day you'll be mine, one day you'll be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
You'll be mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (yeah)
Whispering when he's around
In Usher's song "One Day You'll Be Mine," the singer expresses his attraction to a woman who is currently in a relationship with another man. From the very first time he saw her, Usher was certain that she was the one for him, and he believes that they were meant to be together. However, he is aware that she is already seeing someone else, and he doesn't want to come between them. Despite this, Usher believes that their chemistry is undeniable and that they are meant to be together.
The lyrics reveal not only Usher's unwavering love and desire for the woman but also his inner conflict between pursuing her and respecting her current relationship. He believes that if she can imagine being with him, then it could become a reality. The chorus speaks directly to his desire to have her and to make her his own someday, ultimately leaving no doubt in the listener's mind that Usher will continue to pursue her until he wins her over.
The song's slow, sensual beat and Usher's smooth vocals make it a romantic ballad that evokes feelings of love and longing. With such a relatable subject, catchy lyrics, and memorable melody, it's no wonder that this song became a hit for Usher.
