Unofficial studio version
One, two, three, four
One girl, one love
One dream in our hearts
Two hearts as one
One hope never to be torn apart
Yeah, come on, baby, rock me way down low
Shake me, darling, shake me, don't let me go
You're the one, yeah, you're the one for me
One dream, one dream
Is all, is all I need
One reason to believe
In you I've found the thing I need
Yeah, comе on, baby, rock me way down low
Shake me, darling, comе on, don't let me go
You're the one, yeah, you're the one for me
Once I was alone
So alone, so all alone
Then you came along
With a love you said I could call on
Yeah, come on, baby, rock me way down low
Shake me, darling, come on, don't let me go
You're the one, yeah, you're the one for me
Come on, baby, rock me all night long
I've been searching for you for so long
You're the one, yeah, you're the one for me
Ooh-oohhh
Ooh-oohhh, ooh-ooh-oohhh
Ooh-oohhh, ooh-ooh-oohhh
Ooh-oohhh, ooh-ooh-oohhh
Ooh-oohhh
Ooh-oohhh
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

The above lyrics are for a studio take of ONE LOVE most likely recorded on 19 Jan 1983 at Thrill Hill West, Springsteen's home studio in Los Angeles, CA.
This is the same version (same take) as the one officially released in 2025, but the official version is over a minute shorter ─ it kicks in about 20 seconds later and fades out about 45 seconds earlier. Moreover, the mix may be slightly different. See the official studio version for more details.
This unofficial studio version of ONE LOVE can be found on several bootlegs, including The Lost Masters Vol. 16 (Labour Of Love) [track 02] and The Lost Masters Essential Collection Vol. 1 (Labour Of Love) [disc 2, track 14].
