Well I spent all night alone with you
   And you weren't even there
   Your eyes burned on me like the midnight sun
   And somewhere in the night I knew
   How much I really cared
  
   'Cause you're the one
   You're the one
   For me you are the one
  
   I tried to keep my distance afraid of striking out
   But protect myself from life is all I've done
   So I got to tell you now
   Before another night goes by
   That you're the one, you're the one
   For me you are the one
  
   And sometimes it hits you right away
   And sometimes it takes awhile
   Oh but now that you've crept up on me
   There's nothing I can do to stay away from you though Lord
   I've tried to keep it down
   But resistance only moves it to the front
   So I got to tell you now and worry what you'll say
  
   'Cause you're the one
   You're the one
   For me you are the one
