Grease
Craig McLachlan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!

You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart, I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)

If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up if I'm gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)

You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)

You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey




The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo
