“One Time” is the opening track of Play.
The drum is the main metaphor here, and there’s a conflict between a noncommittal man, and a woman who’s certain he’ll settle with her.
[Verse 1]
You know you've got that thing that makes the girls all swing
You know exactly what you do
You like the hit and run, you say it's all for fun
You think that I'm the one for you
[Chorus]
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
[Verse 2]
I know I've got that sway that makes the boys all stay
I know the way that men can be
I like it smooth and slow, give it some time to grow
That's something you should know about me
[Chorus]
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
[Bridge]
One more time (Pl-pl-play, play the drum)
One more time (Pl-pl, pl-pl-pl-play the drum)
One more time (Play, play the drum)
One more time (Pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl-pl- the drum)
[Chorus]
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind
But I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
[Outro]
One, one, one, one, one, one, one time
One, one, one ti- (Ti-), one, one, one, one (Time)
One, one-one-one, one-one-one-one, one-one, one, one
One, one-one-one, one-one-one, one time
One-one-one (Yeah), one-one (Ye-, ye-ye-ye-yeah), one time
One-one-one-one (One), one-one-one, one ti-, one time
One ti-, one time
Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you play one time
