“One Day (At a Time)” was written as Lennon’s marriage to Yoko Ono faltered. Like other songs on the album (such as You Are Here and Out The Blue), it sings about how necessary they are to make the other complete.

[Verse 1]
You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea
When we're together or when we're apart
There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts
'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree
[Chorus]
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you (Yeah)
You (Yeah)
You (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
You are my woman, I am your man
Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key
And every morning I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee
[Chorus]
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for us too (Yeah)
You too (Yeah)
You (Yeah)
Ooh
[Break]
[Outro]
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea
'Cause I'm an apple and you're the tree
'Cause I'm a door and you're the key
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee
