Are You the One?Jody Watley

Gave you every chance
For you to treat me right
But here we go again
Not another second chance
Gonna find a true romance
Time to move on, I gotta move on
I've asked myself so many questions
I shoulda asked you from the start
Shoulda went beyond those false pretentions
Was I just running from the truth?
And now I ask myself

Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
Only time will tell
If it's gonna be the real thing

Will I ever learn from my mistakes?
So tired, tired of a broken heart
Said you'd change, boy
But you never changed
How many times to be dogged out?
How many lies to be found out?
I don't know, I really don't know
We all want love but have no answers
When it comes down to make a choice
How many times have you been in bed
Before you really knew the person
You were sleeping with?
You gotta ask yourself

Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
Only time will tell
If it's gonna be the real thing

Are you the one
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be)
(Are you gonna be, yeah)
Are you right for me?
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be)
(Are you gonna be)
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be)
(Are you gonna be, yeah)
Only time will tell
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be)
(Are you gonna be, yeah)
If it's gonna be the real thing

Are you the one?
Are you the one, are you the one?
Are you the one?

Can't control you messin' 'round
I won't be there when you're down
Gotta be watched every minute, hey
I've been told that you're no good
But I wouldn't leave even if I could
Can't be stopped 'cause I'm in it, hey, yeah

Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
Only time will tell
If it's gonna be the real thing

Are you the one
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, yeah)
Are you right for me?
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, yeah)
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, yeah)
Only time will tell
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, yeah)
If it's gonna be the real thing

(Are you gonna be the one?)
Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
Only time will tell
If it's gonna be the real thing

Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?
Are you the one?
Only time will tell
If it's gonna be the real thing

Are you the one?
Are you right for me?
Is this gonna be the real thing?

Jody Watley

Jody Watley is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer that first danced her way to fame at 14-years-old as a dancer on Soul Train. That experience led show host Don Cornelius and booking agent Dick Griffey to place her and fellow dancer Jeffrey Daniel in the group Shalamar in 1977, with lead singer Howard Hewett added to the group in 1979. They produced the hits “Second Time Around,” “Make That Move,” “This is for the Lover in You,” and “A Night to Remember” before Watley left the group in 1983 due to conflict within the group and a lack of payment from Dick Griffey’s SOLAR Records label.

She released her self-titled debut album in 1987 featuring the #1 Dance hits “Don’t You Want Me,” “Some Kind of Lover,” and “Looking for a New Love,” which also peaked at #1 on the R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Pop chart. This album went Platinum and led to her winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1988. Her follow-up album Larger Than Life was released in 1989 and featured the Top 10 Pop hits “Everything,” “Friends” with Rakim, and the #1 Dance and R&B hit “Real Love.” She worked on these albums with Prince bassist André Cymone, who she would later marry in 1991 before separating in 1995.

She released nine studio albums between 1987 and 2006, and in 2008, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Her last project was the 2014 EP Paradise on her own Avitone label and she made an appearance on DâM-FunK’s Invite the Light album in 2015 on the track “Virtuous Progression.” She also formed “Shalamar Reloaded” with two new members and continues to tour.
