Today is Daryl Hall’s Birthday! While there are a number of go-to songs by Hall & Oates, I’ve always enjoyed “One on One”. It takes me back to when I was small, sitting in the back seat of my parents car and only being able to see the streetlights as they passed by or the Manhattan skyline. Enjoy.
I’m tired of playing on the team
It seems I don’t get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score oh
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you’ve got to understand baby
Time out is what I’m here for
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one I know I want to play that
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one so slow
You can’t tell me you don’t miss me girl
I think I might know you too well
Wonder what you’d say if you knew that I was coming tonight
(Want to) I want you can’t you tell
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one I know I want to play that
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one so slow
That’s all you need to know now
‘Cause if it’s really right there’s nothing else
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one I want to play that game tonight
One on one, girl
There’s nothing else but you and me
I don’t want no one else
I don’t want no one else
Baby I am tired of playing
I am tired of playing
I don’t want to play those games no more, no more
I want to play with you girl
I want to play with you girl
Just you and me
You and me
You and me
