CM: I got chills they're multiplyin'
And I'm losin' control
Cause the power you're supplyin'
It's electrifyin'
DG: You better shape up
Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you (and my heart is set on)
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
CM: Nothin' left
CD: Nothin' left for me to do
CHORUS:
CD: You're the one that I want (You are the one for)
The one that I want (You are the one for)
The one that I want (You are the one for)
The one I need (one I need)
oh yes indeed (yes indeed)

You're too shy to convey
Better take my direction
Feel your way

CM: Are you sure
CD: Yes I'm sure down deep inside
