One Love Stand
Building One Love: Unveiling the Essence of Carly Simon's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
It's been a one man show that I've been runnin'
Expressing that the speaker has been managing a relationship alone.
On a two way street for love
Describing the complexity of the relationship as a two-way street for love.
And I see no end to this dead end 'til you come back home
Anticipating a resolution or improvement when the partner returns home.
And I've tried everything to keep remembering
Efforts to retain memories of the relationship, possibly facing challenges or changes.
One good woman, one good man
Emphasizing the importance of a compatible woman and man in a relationship.
Two shots of happiness in one life span
Highlighting the potential for joy and fulfillment in a shared life.
It takes a woman and one good man
Reiterating the need for a woman and a good man to create a lasting relationship.
To make a one love stand
Suggesting that a strong, enduring relationship is a unified effort.
The only thing that hurts is the memory
Focusing on the pain associated with the memory of living alone.
Of having once lived by myself
Reflecting on the experience of solitude and independence.
And I tried every kind of hustlin' man, put my love out on a shelf
Trying various approaches to finding love, including avoiding emotional commitment.
Well, he took everything and left my ears ringing
Alluding to a past relationship where the partner took everything, leaving emotional scars.
One good woman, one good man
Reiterating the importance of a compatible woman and man for a successful relationship.
Two shots of happiness in one life span
Stressing the potential for happiness when the right partners come together.
It takes a woman and one good man
Underlining the collaborative effort needed for a lasting, meaningful relationship.
I feel at home in a foreign land
Feeling comfortable and accepted in an unfamiliar environment.
You know what's next when there's nothing planned
Anticipating the next steps in a relationship when there is no pre-planned future.
I'm talking 'bout love, you know it takes two
Emphasizing the mutual involvement required in a loving relationship.
Well, he took everything and left my ears ringing
Recalling a past relationship where the partner caused emotional distress.
One good woman, one good man
Reiterating the significance of a compatible woman and man for a successful relationship.
Two shots of happiness in one life span
Highlighting the potential for double happiness when the right partners unite.
It takes a woman and one good man
Affirming the collaborative effort required for a lasting, meaningful relationship.
It takes a woman and one good man
Repeating the importance of both a woman and a good man in building a strong relationship.
To make a one love stand
Summarizing that it takes both a woman and a good man to establish a lasting love.
