Gary B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't remember anything I'd said.
My friends told me I was getting out of line.
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.
Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
I used to think I was better than the rest.
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best.
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.
I did some crazy things before you came along.
Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
One more time!
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Well, since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.
Happy as a man can be.
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!
The lyrics of Gary B's "You Are the One" refer to a situation where the singer finds himself under the influence of alcohol, behaving recklessly, and unable to remember anything he said or did the previous night. His friends are about to intervene as he is starting to get out of line, but the singer attributes his salvation to the love of his life who has made him a better person by providing him with support and love. She has transformed him, made him happy, and given him a new lease on life, which has left him feeling on top of the world. The chorus repeats a number of times, reinforcing the idea that he is now on the right track and has found fulfillment.
The song is a testimony to the power of love to inspire change and growth in the life of an individual, no matter how broken and lost they might be. The singer speaks of his past self with regret, acknowledging that he was on a path of self-destruction but the love of his life has lifted him out of that and set him on a better course. The song's tone is jubilant, as if celebrating a newfound freedom, and the melody matches the lyrics well, evoking feelings of hope, joy, and triumph.
