• We've been together since way back when
  Sometimes I never wanna see you again
  But I want you to know, after all these years
  You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
  
  You're still the one, I wanna talk to in bed
  Still the one, that turns my head
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one
  
  I look at your face every day
  But I never saw it 'til I went away
  When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
  Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
  
  You're still the one, that makes me laugh
  Still the one, that's my better half
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one
  
  You're still the one that makes me strong
  Still the one, I wanna take along
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes, you are)
  
  Ooh
  Ooh
  
  Changing, our love is going gold
  Even though we grow old, it grows new
  
  You're still the one, that I love to touch
  Still the one, and I can't get enough
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one
  
  You're still the one who can scratch my itch
  You're still the one that I wouldn't switch
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one
  
  You are still the one that makes me shout
  Still the one that I dream about
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one
  You are still the one, you're still the one
  We're still having fun, and you're still the one Writer/s: Johanna Hall, John Hall

• AnonymousIt was played at my first marriage! That was three marriages ago!
• AnonymousThis song was used on a car ad after it became popular. What car company was it and when did it happen?
• Tom from FlThis is a great song.The Edmonton Oilers used this as their theme song after Wayne Gretzky got traded to LA
• Barbara from Staten Islandi am married over 50 years and tony is still the one
  
• Onalee Olson Flicker from Sun Lakes AzThis is my Favorite song even today. I'm 75 yrs old.
• Susan from Atlanta, GeorgiaI vividly remember in 1976 when this song was used by ABC for their new fall line-up and then again, as someone mentioned, a celebratory song for their being #1 in 1977, and I just got sick to death of it. That happens to me when any song is overplayed, I guess, even if I am the one who overplayed it. Go figure. Generally speaking, though, it is a good song.
• Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn July 25th 1976, "Still The One" by Orleans entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #69; and on October 17th, 1976 it peaked at #5 {for 1 week} and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100...
  Between 1975 and 1979 the quintet had five Top 100 records; with two making the Top 10, their other Top 10 record was "Dance With Me", it reached #6 {for 1 week} on October 12th, 1975.
• Ken from Pensacola Beach, FlI remember when ABC used this as a promotional for one of their new seasons in the late 70's. If you have an affinity for this or any Orleans tune, I highly recommend their "Still The One" album. The unique thing about Orleans is that almost all of their songs are upbeat pieces about hope. That one album got me through a divorce in the early 2000's. Wonderful stuff.
• Ken from Louisville, KyABC used this to celebrate the first time in its history (1977-78) it was the number one rated television network in the U.S. They slightly altered they lyrics to "You're still having fun/And we're still the one" They did an elaborate music video featuring many ABC stars holding up their index finger in the "we're number one" salute and broadcast it constantly that season. The following season, when they were aganin number one, ABC did another similar music video promo, only this time they used the Oak Ridge Boys song "You're The One" (changed to "We're The One").
• Brad from Barry, TxI heard Orleans perform this song on a "Best of the 70s" special on PBS a couple of years ago. They sounded exactly the same as they did thirty years ago. Still a great band and a great song.
• John from Fort Worth, TxI am a 47-year-old man and the longer I hear this song the more I love it.
• Marie from Ithaca, NyOrleans used to play here in central NY before they made it 'big' (and a few times afterwards). There was NOTHING like an Orleans concert! My husband and I were dating back then and went to several Orleans concerts to gether, so this is 'our' song. Anyone ever here "Sweet Joahanna?" it's a very rare Orleans song John wrote about his wife!
• Pete from Nowra, AustraliaIs also the theme song for the Ch 9 TV network here in Australia.
