For Valentine's Day, Breaking Down 'One on One' by Hall & Oates February 14, 2012, 5:03 pm You can love Hall & Oates - and who doesn't? - and still find the lyrics to their song "One on One" somewhat confounding. Eric Freeman at The Classical has an engaging take on the use of band's use of "time out" and "pace" and "I want to play that game tonight" - perfectly timed for Valentine's Day. You are still allowed to enjoy the song.
