I? m the one
I? m the one

Pardon me, but can I talk to you
This is somethin? that
That I rarely do
But I really want,
I wanna get to know you

I see you every day
Dream of you at night
I know it must be love
? Cuzz it feels so right
Can you imagine us
Together for the rest of our lives

You? ll never have to want
I? ll be all you need
Just sit back, relax
Just lay back and know

I? ll be Mr. Hold Your Hand
I? ll be Mr. Do You Right
I? ll be Mr. Understand
I? m the one for you for life

I? ll be Mr. Don? t Let Go
I? ll be Mr. Satisfy
Baby, you just gotta know
I? m the one for you for life

Imagine you and me
Walkin? thru the park
Or maybe holdin? hands
And dinner after dark
These are the kinds of things
We can do right from the start

Be warm and sensitive
All these things I? ll do
And when you need good lovin?
I can do that, too

Might as well face it, baby
I? m the right man for you

You? ll never have to want
I? ll be all you need
Just sit back, relax
Just lay back and know

I? ll be Mr. Hold Your Hand
I? ll be Mr. Do You Right
I? ll be Mr. Understand
I? m the one for you for life

I? ll be Mr. Don? t Let Go
I? ll be Mr. Satisfy
Baby, you just gotta know
I? m the one for you for life

For as long as you live
I promise you? ll never find,
Never find another
Who can love you like me
Girl, that look in your eyes
Is telling me that you need lovin?
So baby let go
Let go
And let me love you
I? ll be Mr. Hold Your Hand
I? ll be Mr. Do You Right
I? ll be Mr. Understand
I? m the one for you for life
