You're the One
Bland Bobby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're medicine for my
Tooth when it aches
Like a handyman, you fix
My heart when it breaks

Lot of faith that I have in that
So many things, baby
That I need a lot

And your love, oh
Your love is all I need

You're my teacher
When I don't understand
My ace in the hole
You're my bird in the hand

I don't have fame
Don't have what it takes
But, oh Lord, I got you, baby
Yeah, and that's my lucky break

And your love, oh
Your love is all I need
It's all I need
Lord, it's all I need

Talking about love, baby
Lord, it's all I need, yeah
Look here

You're money when
I get down and out
You see me straight
When I get turned about

And nothing's impossible
With you by my side
And life's a miracle, baby
A soft cushion ride

Look here, and your love
Oh, your love is all I need

It's all I need
It's all I need, baby
Your precious love, baby
It's all I need

And I don't need nothing, baby
Just your love right now, baby
