You Are The One - Pulp

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

Yeah, 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, 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
