song-cover

You're The One

in AlbumLet It Rain

You're The One

Some say you're crazy

Say that you're no good

Say your family's cursed with bad blood

But I think you're cute and misunderstood

And I wouldn't change you if I could

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

Some say you're bitter

Think you're mean

Uncouth untamed and unrestrained

But I think you're sensitive and sweet

Stay as you are don't change a thing

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

Some say you're bawdy

Wicked and wild

A restless useless juvenile

But I think you're funny and I like your smile

Want to be with you want you to stay awhile

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

A no 'count mixed up

Amount to nothing

A day away from a bum on the street

Some low class kind of royalty

That's what they say about you

When they're talking to me

Some say you're bad

A bad bad seed

You love to play with fire you love gambling

But I know what you love and I know what you need

And I like it when you play with me

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me
