Julia and Angus Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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
You're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Can't you see
Oh, yes, indeed
Oh, yes, indeed
If you're filled with affection, you're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction, feel me
You better shape up, cause I need you now, can you keep me satisfied
You better shape up, you better prove that my love is justified
But I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Can't you see
Oh, yes, indeed
Oh, yes, indeed
The song “You're the One that I Want” is a lively revival of the earlier “Grease” musical movie soundtrack. Julia and Angus Stone performed the duet in 2017. The first verse describes a physical reaction of chills and electrification to being in the presence of the person they desire. They need a man, and their hearts are set on this person, who supplies a powerful force resulting in losing control. The persona appeals to the desire of the desired party to shape up and be the right man as they intend to remain true to their heart. The chorus repeats the statement of the subject’s desire for the person whose affection they crave, emphasizing that the other party is the one they want.
In the second verse, the persona notes that the other party may be filled with affection but too shy to express it. The persona urges the person to concentrate on them, to meet their needs because they will lose control if left unsatisfied. The persona also expects them to prove that their love is justified. The persona admits to harboring a belief that deep down, the other party is right for them. Therefore, they reiterate their desire for the person and assert they are the one they want.
Overall, the song communicates the simplicity of attraction and the need for love to be reciprocated. The persona admits their attraction to the desired person but also explains the terms and conditions of their affection.
