I tried to find another, another lover for myself
I soon discovered that for me
There will never be anyone but you
Oh no, baby
Mister, don't you know
You've got your hood to me
I tried other guys but it just ain't working
(Don't you know that)
Don't you know
(You're the one for me)
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, sweet baby
(You're the one I need)
Ain't no doubt, ain't no doubt
Ain't no doubt about it, sugar
(You're the one I need)
You're the one I need
When I saw with you another girl
My friends started talking about it, baby
Then jealousy got the best of me, I swore that was it
I'm gonna find somebody new, rest new you, baby
Oh, how hard I tried to find you in another fellow
But I couldn't hide the truth from myself
(Don't you know)
Don't you know
(You're the one for me)
You're the one, you're the one for me
(You're the one I need)
Yeah, oh
(You're the one I need)
You're the one, you're the one
You are the, you are the one I need
(One I need)
(Don't you know)
Don't you know
(You're the one for me)
You're the one for me
(You're the one I need)
Oh, oh, oh, baby
(You're the one I need)
I need you by my side, yes I do, baby
(You're the one I need)
You're the one I need
There is something about you, boy
That gives you some kind of power over me
Oh, I can't explain it, oh no
I feel it when I see you, it's there when I call your name
Oh baby, my baby
Oh, my sweet baby
Won't you try and understand
Oh, I've found my place with you, oh baby
(Don't you know that)
Don't you know that, don't you know that
(You're the one for me)
You, you are the one for me
(You're the one I need)
You're the one that I need
(You're the one I need)
I can't take it
(You're the one I need)
