She's the One
World Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was her
She was me
We were one
We were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

We were young
We were wrong
We were fun
All along
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

When you get to where you want to go
And you know the things you want to know
You're smiling.
When you said what you want to say
And you know the way you want to play it
You'll be so high you'll be flying.

Tho' the sea
Will be strong
I know we'll
Carry on
'Cause if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one.

When you get to where you want to go
And you know the things you want to know
You're smiling.
When you said what you want to say
And you know the way you want to play it
You'll be so high you'll be flying.

I was her
She was me
We were one
We were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one




If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

Overall Meaning

The World Party's song "She's the One" is a romantic song about a past relationship and the deep connection shared between two persons. The lyrics reflect how the singer felt about his past lover and it is a clear statement of how they both felt about each other. The verses suggest that they were young, free, and happy, although they made mistakes along the way. The chorus is the main focus of the song and it suggests that no matter the distance, the time that has passed, or the things that are happening around, his past love is always on his mind and he is still deeply connected to her. The song also talks about the sense of accomplishment and contentment that comes when one finally finds their true calling.


The chorus, "if there's somebody calling me on, She's the one," is repeated several times, emphasising the message of the song. The song's lyrics show that the singer is aware of the strength of their bond, and how it has stood the test of time. Despite the doubts that come with life, the singer knows that the person he is meant to be with will always be "the one."


The verses then juxtapose that certainty with the fear of heading into the unknown. The chorus represents the comforting presence of an old flame who reminds the singer of the love and excitement of youth, while the verses hint at the possibility of adventure and discovery.

A ma femme, que j'aurai tellement aimé, jamais assez.


Mes amours, lors de mes enciennes et prochaines vies.

Vous, muses de mes existences, qui m'ont donné la chance de vous aimer
Mon âme, elle, nous vous oubliera jamais.
Grâces vous soient rendues

Vous êtiez et êtes uniques, magnifiques
et sublimez certainement vos chanceux proches à l'heure actuelle.




Une des rares chansons que j' aurai aimer interprêter pour un mariage.
En me donnant les moyens et beaucoups y travailler, peut être
Le coeur y serait en, tous cas!

...Et pour l'amour, que je (re)touverai peut être en cette vie.. ou les prochaines.
Je ne te reconnaît pas encore
Mais je sais que on se retrouvera un jour, ici ou ailleurs.


Cette chanson me transporte jusqu'à toi,
Unique élue de mon âme

Certes.

@christophermcmanemy8341

It could almost be the next track after "Mother". Perfect pop song. Then the Manc dancer got his hands on it. I'm sure Karl and Guy were grateful of the royalties, but...
