I'm The Only One

For real spiChel! She's so singing about another woman, it's obvious to me! Which BTW, I love her for doing! :) This song is so sweet, but it makes me sad because it reminds me of my GF who was going behind my back with my BFF at the time, and yeah.

duude... lol... straight people that dont know better... are... fucking stupid... as fuck

I wouldn't say it's necessarily about either gender. From Melissa's point of view it is about a woman, but from the listener's point of view, it is different...

I always thought the song ment anyone who was dealing with a cheating relationship...the best part of this song she doesn't claim the gender of the cheater/lover so everyone can relate to this song .I think in the beginning she telling us that she just can't grasp that what she already knew what was coming in denial with unfaithful. So after the lover tells her the reality she knows that what they picked isn't going to be love a love like theirs but the lover doesn't care because their afraid of the love. So the lover ends up having to deal with their reality "she"doesnt want the lover to cheat on her so they end up arguing and screaming at each other because they're not suppose to be together but then "she" realizes thats never going to happen so she lies and says nothings wrong and maybe leave him and I think he becomes violent towards her eyes, skin ect ..So the Singer knows all this and all she can do is sit back and wait till the lover realize What the lovers doing (demons) and she'll still help the lover because she's maddly in love with the lover ands been thru the cheating to many times to count but doesnt care and the lover uses sex to ignore all the pain the lover caused.I guess mine has a more darker meaning

This song is about doing anything for the person you love, and then they cheat on you or leave you. She's telling the guy they messed up by leaving.

hehe. this is funny cuz she's gay and singing about a girl, and i was surprised to see both comments above mine say "the guy" girls rock. i am a lesbain, but i don't like m. etheridge that much, but, this is the only song i like by her. esp the part about drowning at her desire.... damn. how fucking romantic is that?

this songs amazing reminds me of a love afair once with a girl when i was younger. melissa is amazing i'd fuck her just for her guitar collection!!oooh shallow

I think that she is saying that she is the only one who would sacrifice herself completely for her lover "i'm the only one who'll walk across the fire for you" and put everything that she has into the relationship and that no matter whoever comes into her life no other woman will love her like she does.

spichel, how in the world can you only like this song? darkgem, american idol rots your brain.

Honey, if you think Melissa is ugly you\'ve smoked too much kudzu. Go listen to some Freebird or something.

This song makes me wonder if she was thinking of Julie Cypher/kd lang\'s non-adulterous adultery. IE, they had this emotional thing going but there was no touchy-touchy. Supposedly Melissa gave \'em permission... and well, the rest is history.

It sucks that GLBT celebs either have to totally hide who they are OR have every little effin\' drama in their lives reported by Peoople Mag. Ugh.
