Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!
You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
If you're filled
With affection
You're to shy to convey
Better take my direction
Feel your way
I better shape up
'Cause you need a man
I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
If I'm gonna prove
You better prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure
Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed [Repeat; x 3]
The lyrics to "You're The One That I Want" are from the perspective of two people who are falling in love and trying to convince each other that they are meant to be together. The first verse begins with the woman describing the physical sensations she is experiencing in the presence of the man, stating that she is "losing control" due to the power he is supplying. The man responds by telling her that she needs to "shape up" if she wants to be with him and assures her that he is the one she wants.
The second verse begins with the man acknowledging the woman's affection for him but stating that she is too shy to express it. He tells her to follow his lead and "feel her way" towards him. He then asserts that he also needs her to "shape up" in order to keep him satisfied and prove her faith in their relationship.
The chorus emphasizes that the two of them are meant to be together and repeats the phrase "you are the one I want" multiple times, emphasizing the depth of their feelings for each other.
