Only 1 U Lyrics
[Chorus]
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
[Verse 1]
Just cause the game is up doesn’t mean I didn’t win
I got three aces and a king
You might have got love from unnatural things
That’s why my instincts kicks in
It doesn't matter if you win it’s based on what you bring
I still feel it and I chase it with a drink
Your telephone rings, but you ain’t listenin'
So motherfucker now I’m steppin’ in
[Chorus]
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
[Verse 2]
Lara Croft is soft when it comes my stuff
She’s made up, I’m real
I’m a lady of rage, with an afro puff
Who else can say the things they feel?
More jiggy than Will
From a mill to a trill
There’s no beat I cannot kill
Still chill up on a hill
Like I’m poppin’ a pill
There’s no other things I want to feel
[Chorus]
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
[Bridge]
There’s trillions of cash
And there’s billions of us
And there’s millions of things that can happen with this stuff
And there’s thousands that will crash
And there’s hundreds that will smash
There’s only one you and I'ma drink to that
[Chorus]
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
There's only one you (You, you, you)
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
[Outro]
Come on, let go, let we go take off
Tonight’s the one cause tomorrow may never come
Working all day and tonight is gonna be mine
Making money is fine, but your life is one of a kind
Only 1 U Q&A
Who wrote Only 1 U's ?
Only 1 U was written by Kyle Edwards & M.I.A. & Dave Taylor.
What did M.I.A. say about "Only 1 U"?
When we first made that beat, which was just a crazy beat, I got on the track and we recorded it outside. And everybody was pretty drunk and wasted, and as soon as we made it we got so tired we got into a car. When we were listening to it, we got so excited about it, cause we’d never heard anything...
