Clever.

I just listened to Noel Gourdin’s You’re the One lyrics in my headphones, deciphering them so I could list them for all you good readers below.

I must admit the line about other girls being cubic zirconia compared to his “jewel” are cool.

Anything unique these days (like our boy Robbie Thicke) stands out like a diamond in the rough rap landscape.

So back to Noel Gourdin and his You’re the One lyrics.

The melody is reminiscent of those ’70s songs that emanated from our parents’ hi-fis — and I can see why Noel Gourdin is being likened to a modern-day Sam Cooke.

I’m starting to sense the same mantle of favor on Noel Gourdin’s life that I sense on Chris Brown’s career, whom I think we’ll be hearing from for another 20 years or more.

You’re the One Lyrics by Noel Gourdin

Oh baby baby
Oh baby baby
Oh

Baby I’m confessing/professing my love for you
White doves, dozen roses
Girl anything I’ll do

Oh baby

Heaven’s essence in the flesh is the mere presence of you
Nothing less than the best
Nothing’s too good for my boooooooooo

Oh oh baby

It took no time for me to decide
You look too good
You’re way too fly
You could have whatever you like
If you need real some pimp in your ride

‘Cause every time I look in your eye
It’s so clear to me
I want to — oh! - want you to know

Baby…

I don’t sweat them other girls
‘Cause they’re not youuuuuuu, baby
So plain in comparison
No baby I ain’t no fool

Baby!

Why would I want zirconia?
‘Cause I told them I found my jewel
It’s a fact they know that they can’t touch your cool

Oh!

It took no time for me to decide
You look too good
You’re way too fly (You’re too fly baby)
You could have whatever you like
If you need real some pimp in your ride

(A pimp in your ride, baby…)

‘Cause every time I look in your eye
It’s so clear to me
I want to — oh! — want you to know

(I want you to know me…)

Baby you done broke the mold
They’re not even close
Oh no
Girl I think about you in everything that I do

Fantasize all day long
My mind is gone
Thinking how you made sweet love to me

Oh..want you to know

It took no time for me to decide
You look too good
You’re way too fly
(You’re way too fly)
You could have whatever you like
(Yes you are girl)
If you need real some pimp in your ride

‘Cause every time I look in your eye
It’s so clear to me
I want to — oh! — want you to know

It took no time for me to decide
You look too good
You’re way too fly
You could have whatever you like
If you need real some pimp in your ride

‘Cause every time I look in your eye
It’s so clear to me
I want to — oh! — want you to know

Baby baby baby baby…

Did I get them right? What did you hear?
