[Verse 1: Gladys Knight]
Do me a favor
Won't you say what's on your mind?
I may not have the answer
But I can make it easier to find

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
Too many times you gave more than you took
Now, I can show you things are better than they look

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
You're number one
(You're number one)
In my book
(You're number one)

[Verse 2: Gladys Knight]
Another chapter
Of a love that's yours and mine
This time we've got to capture
Things that should never be denied

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight]
My heart reads like a novel
And you'll find that I'm hooked
Just turn the page
And take a closer look
[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
You're number one
(You're number one)
In my book
(You're number one)

[Bridge: Gladys Knight]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ho
My number one

[Verse 3: Gladys Knight]
I know you're thinkin'
What do I want in return?
Well, you can rest easy
Your happiness is my only concern

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight]
It's rewarding now if I can make you feel good
There is just one thing I want clearly understood

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
You're number one
(You're number one)
In my book
(You're number one)
[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight]
Too many times
You gave more than you took
Now, it's my turn to show you
Things are better than they look

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
You're number one
(You're number one)
You're number one
(You're number one)
In my, in my book
(You're number one)
You're number one in my book
(You're number one)

[Outro: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
I've got to tell you, you've got to know
You're number one
(You're number one)
Never number two, I wouldn't do that to you
You're number one
(You're number one)
In my book
(You're number one)
