You’re the One That I Want Lyrics
[Verse 1: Danny]
I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying
[Pre-Chorus: Sandy & Danny]
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you (And my heart is set on you)
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart, I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
[Verse 2: Sandy]
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying
[Pre-Chorus: Sandy & Danny]
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you (And my heart is set on you)
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart, I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
[Verse 2: Sandy]
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
[Pre-Chorus: Danny, Sandy & Both]
I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied (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
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want
I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied (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
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)

About
Genius Annotation
The fourth track on the Grease Original Soundtrack made for the 1978 film adaptation of the 1971 musical, performed by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as their characters. “You’re The One That I Want” is played near the end of the film, just after Sandy showed up at the carnival with a new makeover and attitude that managed to get Danny to notice her and not feel ashamed of being with her.
It was one of the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 6 million copies among the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France alone, and reaching #1 on many charts.
