About You

"You" is a 1977 single by Australian recording artist Marcia Hines, first recorded by writer Tom Snow on his 1975 Taking It All In Stride LP. "You" was the second single from her third studio album, Ladies and Gentlemen, released in October 1977. It peaked at No. 2 in Australia, and remains Hines' highest charting single in Australia. The song was nearly kept from Hines as Robie Porter, the producer, had put the song into his "don't use" pile. Mark Kennedy – her backing band's drummer – saw the sheet music in the studio and began arguing the song's worth to Porter. Porter subsequently changed his mind about the song. Hines' "You" is a dance song. Her version was not released in North America, and the following year it was covered in the U. S. by Rita Coolidge.

Good evening Adelaide, how ya feelin'? - Alright!
On behalf of the band and myself, we'd like to say welcome.
As you know we've got a brand new album out.
This is my brand new single off the album, 'Ladies and Gentlemen - Marcia Hines'
And it's called - 'YOU'

Oh I, I can't remember when I felt this high
Must be somethin' special about 
The way you're lovin' me tonight

You know that-a I
I can't remember when I felt this right
Lovin' you the way I do
Has made me feel like a shipping store
Shining brighter, shining more
And I wonder how I ever got along

Without you
There's somethin' very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true-ue-ue-ue (true)
It's you, talk about you...ou

Why, sittin' back and watchin' my life go by-why-why-why, yeah
'Til you came along and you picked me you-up
Yes you did, oh yeah, yes you did

Oh and, now, starting out a brand new-ew life
In any thing I say and do, it's all about you now
Givin' me a new world
And I wonder how I ever got along

Without you, there's somethin' very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true-ue-ue-ue, baby it's you
Talk about you...ou

Only you, somethin' very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true-ue-ue-ue baby, it's you
Talk about you... oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh you, yes you

Without you, there's somethin' very special about you
You're all I ever think about, it's true-ue-ue-ue, baby it's you
Talk about you... oh-oh, 'bout you
Something very special about you
You're all I ever think ab
