The Black Keys - You're The One

When I was thirteen,
My mom said "Son,
You're the one I adore,"
Now I'm old and wise,
When I see your eyes,
You're the one I adore,

Oh~oh~ooh~oh,
Oh~oh~ooh~oh,
Oh~oh, oh-oh,
Oh~oh~ooh~oh,

Will you be true,
Till life is done?
Be the one I adore, oh,
You're the one I adore,

Oh~ooh~oh~ooh~oh,
Oh~ooh~oh~ooh~oh.

ummm NO..... he describes the love for his girl as somewhat to that of the love and adoration his mother had for him. Hence, "Now I'm old and wise/when I see you eyes/you're the one I adore" he's talking about his girl and how he feels about her.... not his mom. Who stares into their mom's eyes?.......that's just weird....

[MarryMeGirl41]

I don't understand why people dedicate this song to there girlfriends/boyfriends,,,this song is about the love between a son and his Mother...come on peeps listen to all the lyrics...

[Swingfinger]

he's saying the love his mother gave him gave him the foundation to form strong lasting relationships in his adult life. Let's not get incestual people

I'm up for it. I'll even supply the cd if you want?

His Mother showed him the true meaning of Love, and he found someone of his own to share it with.

."will you be true till life is done, be the one I adore".... come on peeps listen to the lyrics!!!!

[MultiPoopmouth]

at what point does he introduce the idea of this "girl"? the only female mentioned is his mother. another thing to consider is that what if all of the lyrics follwing the phrase "my mom said" are still words from his mother. " will you be true, Till life is done? Be the one I adore, oh, Youre the one I ador" can very easily remain as his mothers words.

[notgerbl]

[Brandon Bird]

Ah, you must be the guy who's cock sucked my cock when I started listening to this song, I'm not even gay and I was so down with it, any day of the week big boy ;) Now the song just ended and this all reads really gay, seemed natural at the time, weird

[nobody2somebody28]

what makes sense is the singer singing to his child. He is talking about how his mother looked at him and adored him and now that he is older too, he understands her adoration and feels the same way towards his kid.

I'm almost sure she's the one.
