You're the One That I Want
Bobby and Jemima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
The song "You're the One That I Want" by Bobby and Jemima is about two people falling in love unexpectedly. The lyrics convey the feelings of disbelief and amazement that come with realizing that someone you've been admiring from afar actually loves you back. The singer of the song is still in shock that this person could have feelings for them, and they express their gratitude for being the "lucky one" who gets to experience this love.
The first verse describes the moment when the two individuals meet, and the singer immediately feels a strong connection with the other person. They recognize that what they're feeling is love at first sight, though they never thought they would have a chance with this person. In the second verse, the singer is amazed that the other person is telling everyone they know about their love for them, and that others are having difficulty believing it. The singer has always felt that this person was out of their league, so the idea of being loved by them is almost too good to be true.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's disbelief that this person could be in love with them. They mention the other person's striking blue eyes and the power of their kisses, and marvel at the idea that they could be loved by someone so amazing. The song is a testament to the power of love to change someone's life and outlook, and the unexpected joy that comes with finding a true connection with someone else.
