One Time Lyrics by Jill Scott

Experience: Jill Scott 826+

2001

[Both:]
Never in my wildest days did I think I'd find someone like you
I like your style, you're swift, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true

[Jill:]
You stood before the sun
Almost struck me blind
You're so damn fine...

[Eric:]
Thank you baby
And I know that you are meant to be with me
Part o' my design

[Jill:]
One time

[Eric:]
You be the salt, I'll be your peppa
Give you flava foreva
Leave ya never
Don't you know, girl, I'm down for whateva

[Jill:]
You'll be my lemon, I'll be your tea
Pure and naturally
You'll be my leaf, I'll be your tree
Your very definition of real

[Both:]
Since you been goin' my way
(Since you been goin' my way, baby)
Things have been goin' my way
(Everything's been goin' my way)
Saturday Sunday Monday to Friday
I'm so happy you just make me wanna say to ya baby

Never in my wildest days did I think
I'd find someone like you
I like your style, you're swift, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true

[Eric:]
You appeared before the sun
Almost struck me blind
You're so damn fine

[Jill:]
Thank you
And I know that you're meant to be with me
Part o' my design

[Eric:]
One time

[Jill:]
Like cognate as to function
You're my and, but or, or conjunction
In the cadillac with the trunk bumpin'
Always down for somethin' somethin' somethin'

[Eric:]
You'll be my feather, I'll be you wings
Goin' to fly things
Shinin' like some diamond rings
Enjoyin' what happiness brings

[Both:]
Since you been goin' my way
(Since you goin' my way)
Things have been goin' my way
(Things have been goin' my way)
Saturday Sunday Monday to Friday
I'm so happy you just make me wanna say to ya baby

Never in my wildest days did I dream to find someone like you
I like your style, you're swift, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true

[Jill:]
You stood before the sun
Almost struck me blind
You're so damn fine

[Eric:]
Thank you to the girl who needs to be with me
Part o' my design

[Jill:]
One time

[Both:]
Never in my wildest days did I think
I'd find someone like you
I like your style, you're swift, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true

[Eric:]
You appeared before the sun
Almost made me blind
You're so damn fine

[Jill:]
Thank you
You're the one meant to be with me
Part o' God's design

One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time
One time


Never in my wildest days did I dream
To find someone like you
I like your style you're swift you're agile
Everything about ya stays true
Never in my wildest days did I dream
To find someone like you
I like your style you're swift you're agile
Everything about ya stays true
