One Thing At A Time Lyrics by Morgan Wallen From English Album N/A with Lyrics Meaning & Knowledge. Latest One Thing At A Time Song lyrics written by Morgan Wallen. The Music lyrics has been updated on 02 Dec 2022 .

The song is about the vocalist bad habits. Which he wants to stop. But he also admits that he can’t stop them at once. One thing at a time means he can stop its one habit at a time.

{Verse No. 1}
Somebody hand me a cigarette
I know I ain't had one in over a week
Somebody pour me a double shot
Been gettin' better by the day but tonight I drink

In the first verse of the song that vocalist tells the story of addiction. He tells that the people around him indulge him addictions. From which he can’t rid out once.

{Chorus}
I can either burn the bar down
Or I can take your number out my phone
I can give you up right now
And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned
If you want me to quit you, want me to get you
Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind
I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time

In the chorus of the song the vocalist is considering leaving a relationship and is struggling to decide how to do it. He is suggesting that he can either take drastic measures, such as burning down a bar, to make a statement, or take a more subtle approach by removing their number from his phone. He is also suggesting that he can give up the relationship right away, and that it wouldn't bother him if he was under the influence of drugs. Finally, he is warning that if the other person wants him to quit the relationship, it won't be easy as he isn't able to quit multiple things at once.

{Verse No. 2}
I know I got me some problems
About a thousand memories I gotta forgеt
But if I'm gonna solve 'em
Baby, I'lI take all thе help I can get

In the second verse of the song the vocalist says that he has a lot of problems and a lot of memories he wants to forget them. How it is possible? He wants to solve all the problems. He tells that who can help me to get it out of all these things.

{Bridge}
I ain't no superman, I'm just the way I am
If I'm gonna move on, then I need me somethin' in my hand
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
And if you ain't comin' back

The bridge of the song is expressing the feeling of needing to make a change in order to move on. It speaks of the need to have something tangible in order to progress. The line "ain't nothin' wrong with that" could be seen as a reminder that it's okay to make changes and its okay to have something to show for it, even if it's not the same as before. The last line could be interpreted as a sign of acceptance that the other person is not coming back and that it's time to move on without them.

The Complete Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody hand me a cigarette
I know I ain't had one in over a week
Somebody pour me a double shot
Been gettin' better by the day but tonight I drink

[Pre-Chorus]
You say I gotta get over you and get sober too
I got a lot of habits I gotta kick
But weigh out all your options and take your pick
[Chorus]
I can either burn the bar down
Or I can take your number out my phone
I can give you up right now
And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned
If you want me to quit you, want me to get you
Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind
I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time

[Verse 2]
I know I got me some problems
About a thousand memories I gotta forgеt
But if I'm gonna solve 'em
Baby, I'lI take all thе help I can get

[Pre-Chorus]
If you ain't gonna kiss me
Then I'lI take some whiskey, some Grizzly
Nicotine amphetamines too
You want me to stop some of that
Or you want me to stop lovin' you?
Hey, what you want me to do?

[Chorus]
I can either burn the bar down
Or I can take your number out my phone
I can give you up right now
And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned
If you want me to quit you, want me to get you
Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind
I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time
