About This Track

'Only One' by Ciara is a Pop track from the album 'Jackie (Deluxe Edition)', released in 2015. The lyrics frame a yearning appeal to someone who fails to really hear or see them, despite repeated attempts at connection. Lines about crying out, lighting a way, and wanting to be held and touched sit alongside a sharpened insistence on self-worth, with the speaker declaring they are not second to anyone. One of the most striking refrains, “If only you could see”, captures the central frustration, and the emotional push-pull between longing and insistence continues through the song.

"Only One" is a track by Ciara, from the album Jackie (Deluxe Edition), released 3rd May 2015. The track is 3:32 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ciara.

Lyrics

Only One

I cried out but you didn't hear me
Cried words I didn't know I knew
A lit a light, you still didn't see me
I swore I shine my way to you

Kiss me, hold me
Touch me, tease me
You make love and you not easy
If only you could see
Could see what you do to me
I ain't second to nobody
Baby you should understand
It's either them or me

'Cause I'm not gonna be your one and only
Just when I'm the only one around
Your one and only
Just when I'm the only one, the only one around

Why do I, do I still want you
After all of the things you do
I know you won't be committed to me
Tell me why I choose to stay
There ain't no one but myself to blame

Kiss me, hold me
Touch me, tease me
You make love and you not easy
If only you could see
Could see what you do to me
I ain't second to nobody
Baby you should understand
It's either them or me

'Cause I'm not gonna be your one and only
Just when I'm the only one around
Your one and only
Just when I'm the only one, the only one around

Oh, guess I do it to myself boy
Oh, guess I do it to myself
Your one and only
Your one and only
One and only

'Cause I'm not gonna be your one and only
Just when I'm the only one around
Your one and only
Just when I'm the only one, the only one around
