Got to agree, Doug; "You're the One" is the "Reaching Out" of this CD.
Several things about it annoy me:

1) The pronunciation "Ev'rythin'"  NOONE in real life drops the final
   g from the word "everything."  Kate's never heard anyone do it, Kate
   doesn't do it, she never has sang it that way, so why such an annoying
   affectation?
2) The lyrics: I just don't buy 'em.  Does anyone believe that Kate's
   ever experienced this?  Or anything much like it?  Not me.  "I'll pick
   up all my things" indeed!
3) Cheesy mono synth line.  Tackiest little fill I've heard in 20 years.
