You're The One
Yoakam Dwight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Now you're back
Calling me with open arms
What happened to the one
You met with all that charm
You say he's gone
you're alone
Well that's a shame
But if you think real hard
I know you'll see
Just who's to blame
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
You're begging me to think
About the love we've shared
Yet it seems to me
Not too long ago you didn't care
The love you left
No longer lives
Within my heart
See the game you played
So recklessly
Tore it all apart
And you're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Oh tell me how's it feel now
That you're the one
How's it feel to be the one
How's it feel now
That you're the one it's happened to
You're the one
You're the one
Yeah, you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
Yeah, you're the one
You're the one
The song "You're The One" by Dwight Yoakam depicts the tale of a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics portray a sense of pain, betrayal, and bitterness that the singer experiences as a result of the actions of his partner. The singer is expressing his pain, anger, and frustration over the way his partner (now ex-partner) treated him in their relationship. He feels that she was the one who caused all the problems in their relationship, and in the end, she is the one who is receiving the same treatment that he endured.
The chorus, "You're the one, you're the one, That made me cry," emphasizes how she was the cause of his pain and suffering. The phrase, "Then said goodbye," shows that she abandoned him after causing him pain, just like she was later abandoned by her new partner. The narrative suggests that the woman comes back to him after her failed relationship, but he does not fall for her charm again. The singer asserts that the love she left behind is no longer present in his heart, and it's her fault for recklessly playing with his emotions.
Overall, the lyrics convey a clear message that relationships are a two-way street, and it is essential to treat your partner with respect and kindness. This song is a representative example of Dwight Yoakam's classic country style, and it is a timeless classic.
