You're The One I Want
Treat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the one I want
You're the one I need

Oh, yeah!
Come on down!
That's right

She comes on like a hurricane
She's so hot she's driving me insane, yeah
In high heels walking down the street
I wanna squeeze her but she's out of reach, yeah

Sweet sister got a hold on me
She's everything a woman should be
Sweet sister, better look this way
'Cause I've got something to say

You're the one I want
You're the one I need
(Oh, yeah)
You're the one I want
You're the one I need

I see your face in every magazine
You're quite a knockout on the silver screen, yeah
With one look you captured my heart, mmm...
I guess you've known it from the very start

Sweet sister got a hold on me
She's everything a woman should be
Sweet sister, better look this way
'Cause I've got something to say

You're the one I want
You're the one I need
(Oh, yeah)
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
Oh, yeah!

When I saw you walking down the street that day
I thought we had it going
But you just walked away from me
And I said hey, baby!

You're the one I want
You're the one I need
(Oh, yeah)
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
(Come on, babe!)

You're the one I want
(You're the one I want)
You're the one I need
(You're the one I need)
You're the one I want




(Yeah, you're the one I want)
You're the one I need
