[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
Girl, it seems so unfair
I should take on the world without you by my side
Baby but now
Reality begins when infatuation ends
'Cause this feeling is too strong to hide
[Pre-Chorus: Howard Hewett]
I wanna fall so deep in love
But I gotta know
Is it in your heart?
Is it really what you want to do?
Can you give it up
When things are getting serious?
My heart is carrying a heavy load
[Chorus: Howard Hewett]
I'd knock on your door
If I thought your heart would let me in
Your game of love is difficult sometimes to win
I ask myself why
I endure when I should search anew
But the answer always seems to be
You're the one for me
[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
Ooh, They say that love is blind
Also hard to find
Just listen to your heart and don't give up
Well, you know, you never said to me
That you fell out of love
You just covered up emotions
When you said you wanted more of
[Pre-Chorus: Howard Hewett]
The things you need
They're right here with me
All you need is one
One true love for you, believe me, girl
I got a lot of love to give
But no one to give it to
Girl, I want it to be you
[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You're the one
You're the one for me
In this game of love I really want to win for us
You're the one
You're the one for me (For me)
Baby, we've been through too much
To just give it up
You're the one for me
I don't need to look no further for love
You're the one, hoo
You're the one
[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
Oh, oh, such misery you'll put me though
If you should try to leave my world
But even then, it might be true
I'd be better off without you
To leave me in pain
[Verse 3: Howard Hewett]
It started out a game
But now it's not the same
Just can't explain
How love lifted me and brought me to my knees
Look me in the eye
Tell me that my love you'll deny
You gotta realize
[Outro: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You're the one
You're the one for me
It may take a while
But I'm gonna hold on
'Cause baby, you're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one for me
You're the one for me
I can't hide it
You can't disguise it
You're the one for me
You're the one
One day you'll realize that I'm the one for you
You're the one for me
