You're the One

The Marvelettes

About You're the One

"You're the One for Me, Fatty" is a single by Morrissey released in April 1992. It was taken from the then-unreleased Your Arsenal album and was the second Morrissey single to be co-written with Alain Whyte and produced by glam rock legend Mick Ronson. Although the lyrics seemed a typically tongue-in-cheek Morrissey love song towards an overweight person, in reality the words were an in-joke directed at Madness singer Chas Smash whom Morrissey had recently befriended. Smash has since confessed that he is the subject of the song. The title is a pun on the Marvelettes' song You Are The One for Me Bobby. The track reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart.

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)
