The Cure – The Only One

  General Comment:I've been a Cure fan since 1992.... I love their music.... but I was disappointed with their last album. The music was tote rubbish for me. Since around 2004, Robert Smith started looking fugly! He used to be shy and kind of cute, but now looks like he's up to himself.

  General Comment:man the more i listen to his recent songs, the more he freaks me out! he sounds like a wild beast. I dont' picture RS being that way though. he seems so honest about his love for his wife. His recent songs freak me out though. he;s on about someone innocent he wants to shock or fuck then he's on about his sexual ways| scarrry!!!

    i don't know? i'm not sure it's meant to be sexual. I don't know if it's just me, but i don't read it like everyone else.

  General Comment:oh i love this song.
  the cure has 2 main auras:
  - the dark and existencialist
  and
  - the dreamy lollipop
  
  and they can perform both vibes beautifully. this song reminds me of in between days, and lovecats, and just like heaven, the caterpillar... those kinds of songs you can dance and sing and cry to.
  it IS ver the cure-ish
  that's the versatility of the cure.

  General Comment:Robert will be turning 50 this year, which means he is months away from being officially declared an OOOLD GUY.
  And EVERYBODY knows it's gross for those Dirty, Old Men to sing about their sex lives. So poor Robert has to get it all out before these lyrics become SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE. :X

    Disagree, people can have sex or be sexy til they die. Live life XD
    Mr. Smith is no exception, not saying I'd do him, but someone would!

  General Comment:Sure it's filled with innuendo but you can also see it just a psychedelic expression of how we views the various aspects of the song. This song is very much like the WIsh album.

  General Comment:I absolutely love this song. A pretty pervy song, but I really love it. I fell in love with it right away actually. I just spent hours on end listening to this on repeat. I was just so thrilled they'd put out something new. And yeah, me and my friend have been listening to this song all summer and it's just kicks serious ass, and it just... yeah I dunno
  I just love it xD

  General Comment:Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
  What you do to my head
  When you pull me upstairs
  And you push me to bed
  I love what you do to my head
  It’s a mess up there!
  
  Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
  What you do to my heart
  When you push me back down
  And then pull me apart
  I love what you do to my heart
  It’s the best, oh yeah!
  
  Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
  What you do to my lips
  When you suck me inside
  And you blow me a kiss
  I love what you do to my lips
  It’s so sweet in there!
  
  Oh I love, love, love, love
  What you do to my hips
  When you blow me outside
  And then suck me like this
  I love what you do to my hips
  It’s the beat, oh yeah!
  
  You’re the only one I’d cry for
  The only one I’d try to please
  You’re the only one I’d sigh for
  The only one I’d die to squeeze
  And it gets better everyday, I play
  With you it’s such a scream
  Yeah it gets better everyday, I say
  and with you it’s so extreme
  Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I say
  With you it’s like a dream
  
  Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
  What you do to my skin
  When you slip me on
  And slide me in
  I love what you do to my skin
  It’s a passion, yeah. (or, "it's so passionate")
  
  Oh I love, love, love, love
  What you do to my bones
  When you slide me up
  And slip me home
  I love what you do to my bones
  It’s the crush, oh yeah. (this is also changed live)
  
  You’re the only one I’d cry for
  The only one I’d try to please
  You’re the only one I’d sigh for
  The only one I’d die to squeeze
  And it gets hazier every way, I sway
  With you it’s such a scream
  Yeah it gets mazier every play, I say
  With you it’s so extreme
  Yeah it gets crazier everyday, I say
  With you it’s like a dream
  
  Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
  What you do to me
  
  The live versions were played before the single and the words are quite different with different verses swapped round...

  General Comment:While I like the darker songs best, I like their happy poppy songs too, This is a perfect pop song, definitely better than anything on their last album IMO. Along with NY Trip it sounds like The Cure got their groove back.
