Theme
This track is one of the rare recordings included in the *Warchest* box set. It deals with themes of **unrequited love and toxic desire**. The narrator is aware of being the 'One Thing' the other person craves for emotional or physical fulfillment, yet this connection remains unattainable or unacknowledged in reality. It captures a feeling of being a secret necessity for someone who chooses to deny it in public or with another partner.
Lyrics
One Thing that I got for you
Is the One Thing that you never do
One Thing makes you feel brand new
Is the One Thing that you're coming to
Just the One Thing gets you in the mood
You call my number in the middle of the night
To tell me nothing else can make you feel alright
But it rings, you hang it up
And call me back again
One Thing that I got for you
Is the One Thing that you never do
One Thing that you've got to choose
Is the One Thing you can never lose
Just the One Thing that fits your attitude
You call my name in the middle of the night
When you're making love and it feels alright
But it's him, not me, can't you see
A shot of reality
I know what you're doing
I know what you want to do
I know when the lights go out
I know what you are gonna to do
One Thing that I got for you
Is the One Thing you never do
Just the One Thing that gets you in the mood
Just the One Thing that fits your attitude
One Thing is scorning pain
Just the One Thing
