You're the One
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't be home tonight
I got your news but I feel all right
I'm going to take this town
I'm going to turn it upside down
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis

You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history

Don't want your love any more
Don't want to hear you knocking on my door
So don't you come back tonight
Everything'll be locked up tight
What's a man supposed to do?
I won't be crying over you

You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history

You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis

You're the one
You're the one who walked out on me
You're the one
You're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history

You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
Don't need to tell you
You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
I won't be crying
You're, you're the one
You're the one
What's a man supposed to do?




You're the one
You're the one who'll be history
