But it very well could be "One". When singing, Robin's enunciation was not always clear. I think he's saying: So, one and "done" or "on". But, he definitely says one first. I think "one and done" also makes sense given the following line- "and in and out". Indicating something done quickly and perhaps without much sincerity or meaning, which seems to follow a theme in the song. >If it is as you hear, I doubt enough people would have heard the song to pick up Robin's coined term. Given it wasn't officially released until 2015, I would say that's a safe assumption >This line has always baffled me: >There's people in my public life that cannot even love their wife. >Hmmm? >Kitt- My initial thought that he was talking about his contemporaries in the music/entertainment business, but that's just a shot in the dark. Could it be "Make Believe" is really about how illusory life is and that real meaning and genuine feeling is so often absent? Could that be an idea revisited 25 years later for "Smoke and Mirrors"?
