I saw you last evening
in a shop on the King's Road
looking through the window
just as it was going to close
Our eyes met for an instant
and then you were gone
And all that evening I couldn't stop myself from thinking:
"Well...
Oh, were you the one?"
We keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
that someone who will be the one
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "boom"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one else
You sat next to me in the cinema
You walked past me in the snow
I kissed you once by a cigarette machine
as the club was about to close
But each time you looked different:
Your face, your body and your hair
I've collected you in installments for sometime now
Over years and years
We keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
that someone who will be the one
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "boom"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one
no-one else
I don't know who I'm fooling
but I guess it gives me something to do
Something to do
It's been going on so long now
Well, how am I ever gonna know if it's really you?
Oh yeah
Oh, we keep on searching, despite ourselves
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
that someone who will be the one
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
And a bell will ring
And our hearts will go "boom"
And the future will reveal itself
And we'll never need for no-one
no-one else
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no no no no no no
No-one else
No-one else
"You are the one" was a phrase we used to use whenever anybody did something exceptionally good or entertaining. I guess if more songs like this had made it on to the album people might not have found the gulf between "This Is Hardcore" and "Different Class" so wide. But they didn't.
