The song "The Only One" by Nu Breed is a romantic and somewhat sultry ode to desire and connection. The main theme of the song is the idea of being selective in a crowded room, and only wanting to take one person home. The first line, "So many ladies in the club but I only want to take one home," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is focused on one specific woman, and wants to spend the night with her. He has a bottle of patron, which is a type of tequila, and wants to play her a song.

In verse three, the singer makes his intentions clear. He wants to "steal" the woman's night and love away, and spend time with her. He compares himself to a thief who has missed a kiss, implying that he has been waiting for this moment and does not want to miss his chance. The moon and the rain add a romantic and atmospheric tone to the song, as the singer describes how spending one more night with the woman would "kill his pain."

Overall, "The Only One" is a song about desire, longing, and making a connection with someone special. The lyrics are romantic and expressive, and the melody is smooth and catchy. It's a great song for anyone who has ever felt a strong attraction to someone and wanted to express their feelings.

Like a thief that Missed a Kiss, because you know its right .
Just like a burglar who has missed out on a potential kiss, we both know that we belong together.
