“One and Only (Demo)” was Arlissa’s first release as an independent artist, following her parting ways with London Records and Roc Nation. The song was released exclusively to SoundCloud in June 2016.
[Verse 1]
Words can say, so many things
What do they mean if I don’t believe
What you say’s worth anything
I don’t know if I believe
‘Cause you’ve been running round me ever so quiet
And I pretend that I don’t know it, oh
Words can say, so many things
Oh I don’t know what to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
I can taste her on your skin
Feel her when you walk right in
Wonder if you feel the guilt when you hold me so close
[Chorus]
Say you love me
But this is not the way
Say you want me
This is not the way
And I don’t wanna let you go
But every time I see your face
I feel so lonely
My one and only
[Verse 2]
How do you sleep, right next to me
While I lay restless in your shadow
Do you dream, of her or me
Will you wake a better man tomorrow?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can taste her on your skin
Feel her when you walk right in
Wonder if you feel the guilt as you hold me so close
[Chorus]
You say you love me
But this is not the way
Say you want me
But this is not the way
I don’t wanna let you go
But every time I see your face
I feel so lonely
My one and only
[Bridge]
This ain’t no way to live
This ain’t no way to breathe
There’s no escaping this
The only way is a broken heart
[Chorus]
You say you love me
But this is not the way
Say you want me
But this is not the way
I don’t wanna let you go
But every time I see your face
I feel so lonely
My one and only
