You're The Only One I want
Less Than Jake · Greased [1996]
And I'm losing control
Cause the power you're supplying
It's Electrifying!
You better shape up cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
The one that I need oh yes indeed
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
I better shape up, cause you need a man (I need a man)
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove (you better prove)
That my faith is justified
Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
The one that I need oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
The one that I need oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) ho ho ho honey
