You’re the One Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

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
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
Wanna 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

Sure in my heart
Happy and free
You′re the one, you're the one
You're the one for me
