McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got chills
They're multiplyin'
And I'm losin' control
'Cause the power
You're suplyin'
It's electrifyin'
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
Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do
[All]
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Are what I need
Oh, yes, indeed
[Tom]
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
[Danny]
I better shape up
'Cause you need a man
Who can keep you satisfied
I better shape up
If I'm gonna prove
That your faith is justified
[All]
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
You're the one that I want

You are the one I want
Are what I need
Oh, yes, indeed
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want...
The song You're The One That I Want by McFly is a cover of the popular song from the movie Grease. The song is a duet, with Danny and Tom taking turns to sing their lines. The lyrics talk about the emotions of two people who are attracted to each other but are trying to figure out how to express their feelings. Danny sings about his feelings of being overwhelmed by the power the other person exudes, with chills and losing control. Tom, in response, asks the other person to shape up because he needs a man and his heart is set on them. He asks them to understand that he must be true to his heart and there is nothing left for him to do but to be with them. They both then sing together about how the other person is the one they want, the one they need, and how sure they are of each other.
The lyrics are a classic representation of the struggle of two people trying to express their feelings for each other. The use of words like "chills," "losing control," and "power" are all used to describe the heightened emotions that come with attraction. The lyrics also talk about the need for each other to shape up and understand their feelings so they can be together. The chorus emphasizes how much they want and need each other and how sure they are of their love.
