Some say you're crazy
Say that you're no good
Say your family's cursed with bad blood
Dm7
But I think you're cute and misunderstood
Am
And I wouldn't change you if I could
F
Let'em talk you down
G
Call you names
Am
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
F
I'm sure in my heart
G
Happy and free
Am
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
Dm7
But I think you're sensitive and sweet
Am
Stay as you are don't change a thing
F
Let'em talk you down

Call you names

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
Dm7
But I think you're funny and I like your smile
Am
Want to be with you want you to stay awhile

Let'em talk you down

Call you names
Am
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me
 
F
A no 'count mixed up
G Am
Amount to nothing
F G Am
A day away from a bum on the street
F G Am
Some low class kind of royalty
F
That's what they say about you
G Am
When they're talking to me
 
Some say you're bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
Dm7
But I know what you love and I know what you need
Am
And I like it when you play with me
F
Let'em talk you down
G
Call you names
Am
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

I'm sure in my heart
G
Happy and free
Am
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me
