You´re The One
SWV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one for me
You can call on me
That's all I want us to be
You're the one for me
I know that you're somebody else's guy
But these feelings that I have for you
She doesn't treat you
The way you want her to
So come on stop fronting
I want to get with you
What you're girl don't know won't hurt her
(Hurt her)
Anything to make this love go further
[Chorus]
This can be an undercover romance
'Cause I feel like I'm the type of girl
You could give a chance
Taste and see
How good it can be
'Cause you don't have to worry (baby)
What your girl don't know won't hurt her
(Won't hurt her)
Anything to make this love go further
[Chorus]
So, what's my chance?
(I'm willing to do anything to get)
In your pants
(You don't have to worry I won't)
Say a thing
(And if she finds out I don't)
Know nothing, Oh no
[Chorus]
You're the one for me
(Ah ah ahah, ah ah ahah)
When in love you need
(Ah ah ahah, ah ah ahah)
You're the one for ne
(Ah ah ahah, ah ah ahah)
When in love you need
[Chorus]
The lyrics of SWV's "You're The One" narrate the desire of a woman for a man who is already in a relationship. The chorus repeatedly affirms that he is the one for her and that she is willing to be there for him anytime. She acknowledges that he is with someone else but is unable to deny the feelings she has for him. The woman notices that the man's current girlfriend does not give him the love he deserves and wants him to stop pretending and come to her. She is willing to keep their relationship a secret if it means they can explore their emotions together. The woman proclaims that what his girlfriend does not know will not damage their love. In the last part of the chorus, she concludes that he is the one she needs when in love.
The lyrics of "You're The One" depict a classic case of a love triangle, where one person is in love with someone already in a relationship, and the other party is presumably unaware of their feelings. The woman sings the words with such passion and intensity, which makes one wonder how much she yearns for this particular man. The song's catchy beat, rhythm, and simple lyrics made it popular not only upon its release in 1996 but also in subsequent years. It is easy to sing along to the chorus, and the melody is quite soothing.

Swv always had the most trifling ass side chick songs, but they made them sound so sweet and innocent 😂😂😂
@ZacharyJohnG
Trifling is the absolute best word 😂 this was an absolute bop tho
@mallorygibbons4975
Wait-what other songs of theirs were side chick anthems? Not being rude-maybe I'm just forgetting some of their songs. Anything,Weak,Rain, I'm so into you, Right Here (from Free Willy) n Can We with Missy Elliott-some if them are freaky but You're The One For Me is the only side chick anthem from them I can think of.
@ThatGuyTooHigh
