[Intro: Smokey Robinson, Joss Stone, Both]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1: Joss Stone]
The first time I laid eyes on you I had an instant suspicion
To be with you would become my life's ambition
I knew right away from the very first day that somewhere down the line
I'd wake up to see you lying right next to me, you'd be mine, all mine, all mine

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson & Joss Stone]
You're the one for me, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me
Anyone can see, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson]
Opportunity comes knocking in the form of somebody new
But I don't answer 'cause the door to my heart is only open to you
Temptation comes 'round staring me down right in my face
But nobody could ever take your place, no one could fill your space

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson & Joss Stone]
You're the one for me, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me
Anyone can see, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me

[Bridge: Joss Stone, Smokey Robinson, Both]
Nobody could ever make feel good like you do
Nobody, but nobody, could ever thrill me so
I've got my mind made up about you
And I know, I know, it's true, it's you

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson, Joss Stone, Both]
Yeah
You're the one for me, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me
Anyone can see, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
(Anyone, anywhere, any time, any place can, baby, yeah)
You're the one for me
You're the one for me, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah)
You're the one for me (You're the one for me)
Anyone can see, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me (Oh, baby)
You're the one for me, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby
You're the one for me
(Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh, baby)
(Yeah)
Anyone can see, baby, yeah, you're the one, baby (Baby, yeah)

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
