The One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old times sake
One more time before the feeling fades
One that’s born of memories
One more bruise you gave to me
One more test, just how much can I take
[Chorus]
'Cause you're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
[Verse 2]
Something never meant to be
Everything you meant to me
Wake me when this punishment is done
Those who try and get away
From the one who gets away
Someone’s always someone else’s one
[Chorus]
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old times sake
One more time before the feeling fades
One that’s born of memories
One more bruise you gave to me
One more test, just how much can I take
[Chorus]
'Cause you're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
[Verse 2]
Something never meant to be
Everything you meant to me
Wake me when this punishment is done
Those who try and get away
From the one who gets away
Someone’s always someone else’s one
[Chorus]
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
[Bridge]
Until the end of time, in another life
'Til the day I die
Save it up for one more try, save it for the last goodbye
We go on and get off and get on and get off
[Chorus]
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like, oh shit!
Until the end of time, in another life
'Til the day I die
Save it up for one more try, save it for the last goodbye
We go on and get off and get on and get off
[Chorus]
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one but you're the only one
Who can make me feel like, oh shit!

What did Foo Fighters say about "The One"?
Genius Answer
I’ve always hated this song. I hate the way it sounds, the production of it; it was a total cop out. We were really trying to finish [fourth album] ‘One By One’. I liked the messed-up ugliness of that record, but we got asked by Tom Hanks’ son Colin Hanks to do the song for this movie called Orange County. Dave wrote it, I wasn’t crazy about it. It was straight-up pop – and there’s nothing wrong with that – but we were still trying to figure out how to be the Foo Fighters."
