"Only One You" is a 1981 single written by Michael Garvin and Bucky Jones and recorded by T.G. Sheppard.

Released during the peak of Sheppard's early-1980s popularity, "Only One You" became his ninth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in February 1982, spendiing one week atop the chart as part of a 13-week run within the country chart's top 40[1].

In contrast to some of his earlier hits -- including "I Loved 'Em Every One" -- "Only One You" pays tribute to monogamy and uniqueness of a single object of affection. Here, a man illustrates this uniqueness by referencing world landmarks such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower, masterpieces such as da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and New York City, before telling the woman "there's only one you."
