[Verse 1]
When I was a child, I cried on mother's shoulder
She would look at me and say: “When you grow older
You will come to know the joy and love of one good man
Everything will come in time if you believe it
Anything you truly want, you can achieve it
Picture in your mind the love you'll find with one good man”
[Refrain]
Someday, a prince will come your way
He'll smile at you and say
He's waited all his life
For someone like you
And if the love is real
Within your heart, you'll feel
“I'm yours for life
'Cause you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me”
[Verse 2]
Many years have passed away since mother told me
I would find a man to love, to have and hold me
There were many men
But none of them that one good man
I began to doubt that I would find my true love
But then before I knew what happened, I found you, love
You were like a dream come true
You were that one good man
[Refrain]
Someday, a prince will come your way
He'll smile at you and say
He's waited all his life
For someone like you
And if the love is real
Within your heart, you'll feel
I'm yours for life
'Cause you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me
[Bridge]
It's true, I knew from that day on
My lonely days were gone
Those lonely tears have dried
Since you are by my side
Now and forevermore
You'll be with me and we will laugh
You are my other half
[Outro]
When I was a child, I cried on mother's shoulder
She would look at me and say: “When you grow older
You'll find a man to love"
And now, I see that
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me
