The Weeknd, JENNIE, Lily-Rose Depp “One Of The Girls” Lyrics
Lock me up and throw away the key
He knows how to get the best out of me
I'm no force for the world to see
Trade my whole life just to be
Tell nobody I control you
I broke you just to own you
They can't tell that I love you
'Cause you're loyal, baby
I love when you're submissive
Love it when I break skin
You feel pain without flinchin'
So say it
Give me tough love
Leave me with nothin' when I come down
My kinda love
Push me and choke me 'til I pass out
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no
I just wanna be one of your girls
Tonight (tonight)
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no
I just wanna be one of your girls
Tonight (tonight), oh
Push me down, hold me down
Spit in my mouth while you turn me on
I wanna take your light inside
Dim me down, snuff me out
Hands on my neck while you push it out
And I'm screamin' out
Give me tough love
Leave me with nothin' when I come down
My kinda love
Force me and choke me 'til I pass out
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no
I just wanna be one of your girls
Tonight (tonight)
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no (oh)
I just wanna be one of your girls
Tonight, oh
Lock me up and throw away the key
He knows how to get the best out of me
I'm no force for the world to see
Trade my whole life just to be
Top of the world but I'm still not free
It's such a secret that I keep
Until it's gone, I can never find peace
Brace my whole life just to be
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no
I just wanna be one of your girls
Tonight (tonight)
We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no (oh)
I just wannа be one of your girls
Tonight (ooh), oh
The Weeknd, JENNIE, Lily-Rose Depp “One Of The Girls” Meaning
“One Of The Girls” explores themes of power, submission, and emotional detachment, presenting a relationship driven by control and fleeting intimacy rather than love. The lyrics paint a picture of a dynamic where one person willingly surrenders to the other’s influence, finding both exhilaration and entrapment in the connection. Rather than seeking emotional fulfillment, the characters embrace a relationship built on dominance, secrecy, and temporary passion.
The song also touches on the tension between attraction and personal freedom. Despite being drawn into an intense bond, there is an underlying sense of captivity, as if the characters are both willingly trapped and yearning for escape.
With its sultry production, hypnotic synths, and evocative storytelling, “One Of The Girls” captures the allure of unconventional relationships. It invites listeners to explore the darker, more intoxicating side of passion, where love isn’t the goal but rather a temporary escape from reality.
