One Sided
One Sided Love: A Melodic Tale of Unrequited Affection
Lyrics
See you in the corner of the room now, dancin' like you got nothin' to lose now
Noticing someone in the corner of the room, dancing freely without inhibitions.
Baby you don't got nothin' to prove now
The person doesn’t need to prove anything.
You've been watchin' me, I'm watchin' you now
Mutual observation between the singer and the person they're addressing.
And I know you don't need nobody, baby I can be somebody
Acknowledging that the person doesn’t need anybody, but the singer wants to be important to them.
I don't notice anybody
The singer only notices the person they're addressing in the room.
In this room
Emphasizing the exclusivity of attention on the addressed person.
But you
Highlighting that the singer’s focus is solely on the addressed person.
Tell me that I'm good enough
Desire for validation from the addressed person.
Just make it sound true enough
Asking for sincere affirmation from the addressed person.
No slowin' down, just speed it up
Encouraging not to slow down but to accelerate the relationship.
Let me take you home tonight
Expressing the desire to take the person home.
You can just stay by my side
Offering companionship for the night.
You can leave in the sunlight
Indicating that the person can leave whenever they want.
I don't need no ride or die
Not needing an overly committed relationship.
I can do your body right
Confidence in satisfying the person’s physical desires.
Only if you let me try
Expressing a willingness to try to please the person.
We don't even need goodbyes
Suggesting a lack of need for goodbyes, implying a casual relationship.
This can be a one sided love
Describing the nature of the relationship as one-sided, possibly indicating imbalance.
This can be a one sided love
Reiterating the one-sided nature of the affection or relationship.
I'm done waitin' on you girl
Frustration with waiting for the addressed person’s response.
I need you to say the word
Requesting a clear indication of the addressed person’s feelings or consent.
Promise that you won't get hurt
Seeking assurance that the addressed person won’t be hurt.
And we don't even need all the drama
Desire to avoid unnecessary conflicts or complications.
You don't even have to be honest
Accepting the possibility of dishonesty from the addressed person.
You can even lie if you wanna
Permission or acceptance of the addressed person’s potential lies.
Nobody watchin' you like I am
Claiming exclusive attention and observation of the addressed person.
Nobody holdin' you like I can
Claiming a unique ability to provide comfort or support.
Nobody wantin' you like I am
Stating an exclusive desire for the addressed person.
