'i'm one mixed up with a lot of passion' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i'm one mixed up with a lot' is the wordplay.
'mixed up with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'im'+'one'='imone'
'a'+'lot'='alot'
'imone' with its letters anagrammed with 'alot' gives 'EMOTIONAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
