You're the One I Love Lyrics

Tenderly, tenderly
Come to me tenderly
You're the one I love
You're the one I love

Hold me near, hold me tight
When you're near it's alright
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love

Baby, don't you be afraid to love me
Love me
Baby, don't you be afraid to love me
And I'll be good to you

Come to me, come to me
Tenderly, come to me
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
You're the one I love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Once again, the above lyrics are not at all the lyrics I submitted. Yes, it's a cover of an Everly Brothers song, but Sara Watkins' cover on Sun Midnight Sun does not lyrically mirror the original. Further, the lyrics above are incorrect no matter which version you're listening to. I'm beginning to see a pattern with lyrics the SongMeanings staff copy and paste via LyricFind in lieu of the actual submission.

Here are the lyrics I submitted:

Tenderly, tenderly Come to me tenderly You're the one I love You're the one I love

Hold me near, hold me tight When you're near it's alright You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love

Baby, don't you be afraid to love me Love me Baby, don't you be afraid to love me And I'll be good to you

Come to me, come to me Tenderly, come to me You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love
