A closet full of glad rags All tucked away in a bed that's swank Two sedans and the latest sports car Plus a lot of money in the bank Baby, just give me you in a love affair made for two Don't make no mistake about which one I would take You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) The only one (the only one) An all-expense-paid trip around the world To see the sights I've read about To travel 'round the world for 'most any girl Would be a guess beyond a doubt But if I had to choose between the trip and you There would be only one thing that I could do I don't have to come out and say my choice You can tell by the sound of my voice that You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) The only one (the only one) To go to parties and to dances And to be the belle of every ball To have the guys line up for chances Beggin' me to dance with one and all Now give me just your romance You don't even have to know how to dance I don't need those other guys You can tell by the look in my eyes that You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) The only one (the only one) You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) You're the one (you're the one) The only one (the only one)
