you are the one
The Sugar Bears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a feeling for you
That I just can't hide any more.
Nobody else in the world
Ever made me feel this way before.
I've been afraid to show it,
But now you've got to know it.
Baby, baby
I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
And I want to spent the rest of my life with you.
You brighten up the world with everything you do.
Baby, you're my morning sun
You are the one.
Oooh baby, you're my morning sun
You are the one.

Ever since I can remember
I've just been looking around.
You came along and I couldn't believe
What a good thing I found.
I've got to scream and shout it.
There's no more doubt about it.
Baby, baby
No one else will do

[Chorus]

Baby you know that I needed you so
Please don't turn me away.
Now that you know I've been feeling about you
There's so much to say.
But you've got to know it baby,
I want you more than maybe
Tell me, tell me
You could love me too

[Chorus]





Ooh baby, you're my morning sun
You are the one

One of the best pop songs ever written and composed! I was born in the late fall of 1978. My older cousin had two .45 records of You Are the One by the Sugar Bears! One was never played! She would play all of her 45 records from the 1960's and 1970's and I would play them over and over again! This is one of the songs I [played over and over again. She gave me both of the 45's. I still have them. One still has never been used at all. The one that was played all the time is good but not this pristine and clear! Thank you very much for posting and sharing this great recording! It should have been a number one hit!

I remember the first time I heard this was on the Sugar Crisp commercial and I remember begging my grandmother when we was at the grocery store to buy me a box , I took the cereal out and tied it in the grocery bag and cut the record out and I lucked out and got You Are The One ( Which I played over and over and later I got Anyone But You and they're both my favorites as well as all it collections of The Archie's . ❤😊

@anthonycrnkovich5241

IMO, this is the most underrated, unjustly forgotten pop song of the early 1970s. Those lucky enough (like me) who were around when this came out know exactly what I'm talking about.

@ez253

I was 12 years old when this was getting airplay. I still adore it. Great, great song.

@brooklynant2047

Unjustly forgotten? I’m glad I never heard of this one & I was around.

@johnsantos1348

Got mine off Cereal Boxes . Along with Hits from the Jackson 5 - The Archies

@Skeeballman64

God bless the uploaders of the sugar crisp commercials for leading me to this masterpiece.

@markpippin5437

This should have been a hit. If the Archies could have a no. 1 hit, certainly the Sugar Bears could have.

@user-mn4kg3jb4j

Great Recording and Song!

@teletubetodd

Wow, this is great! I heard a snippet of this song from the Super Sugar Crisp commercial that offered it as a back-of-the-box record freebie in '71 or so, but this is the first time I've heard the complete song. Superb brass, percussion and vocals and talented songwriting by Baker Knight should have charted it higher than #51 on Billboard, but I guess cartoon bands like the Archies and Josie & the Pussycats were cornering the market. Thanks for bringing this back!
