Tracy Chapman: You're the One

You'r the One aparece en "Let It Rain", el sexto álbum de la cantautora afroamericana Tracy Chapman, publicado en 2002. Con este disco, Tracy Chapman ha encontrado una casi perfecta plataforma para su potente voz. Ella y coproductor John Parish optaron por un enfoque que es puro ritmo, el típico sonido acústico de Tracy es sustituido por palmas, coros gospel y la percusión que va marcando los tiempos.



You're The One
(Tracy Chapman)
Lyrics

Some say you're crazy
Say that you're no good
Say your family's
cursed with bad blood
But I think you're cute
and misunderstood
And I wouldn't change you if I could

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

Some say you're bitter
Think you're mean
Uncouth untamed and unrestrained
But I think you're
sensitive and sweet
Stay as you are don't change a thing

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

Some say you're bawdy
Wicked and wild
A restless useless juvenile
But I think you're funny
and I like your smile
Want to be with you want
you to stay awhile

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me

A no 'count mixed up
Amount to nothing
A day away from a bum on the street
Some low class kind of royalty
That's what they say about you
When they're talking to me

Some say you're bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire
you love gambling
But I know what you love
and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me

Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me
