with vocal by Bob & Alf Pearson, 29th March 1931:
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one, and therefore
I hope you care for me
Listen to my pleading
You’re the one I’m needing
I love you so sincerely
At last I’ve met my fate
I’m glad that I could wait
Until I found someone like you
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one, and therefore
I hope you care for me

As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:
At last I've found the one I love
And you're the one I mean
I always knew I'd find you someday
You're the sweetheart of my dreams
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one, and therefore
I hope you care for me
Listen to my pleading
You’re the one I’m needing
I love you so sincerely
At last I’ve met my fate
I’m glad that I could wait
Until I found someone like you, for
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one, and therefore
I hope you care for me
(Instrumental Break)
Oh, you're the one
And, oh, the only one
I hope you care just a little bit for me
Baby, don't you love me
I keep wonderin' all day through
Gee, but I love to do things for you
I got a feelin' sorta stealin' round me
I gotta have you somehow
My dreams are all about you, just you
It seems that nobody else will do
I hope that you feel the same way too
About me
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one I’m so there for
I hope you care for me

Until I found someone like, like you, dear
You’re the one I care for
You’re the one, and therefore
I hope you care for me
For you're the one that I care for
And every moment I'm caring more
I hope you care for me
Honey, stay around me
Now I keep wonderin' all day through
How can I ever keep in with you
I love you so sincerely
Just hear me take this vow
I love your style, and how
I hope that you'll allow me near you
For you're the one that I care for
And every moment I'm caring more
I hope you care for me
