Yoü and I
•Lady GaGa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without you

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me oh
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you
You say sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me there's,

(Something), something, something about this place
(Something), something about lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Something), something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about baby you and I

It's been two years since I let you go
I couldn't listen to a joke or Rock and Roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart

On my birthday you sang me a heart of gold
With a guitar humming and no clothes, I'd rather die
This time I'm not leaving without you

Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me there's

(Something), something, something about this place
(Something), something about lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Something), something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about baby you and I

You and I
You you and I
You you and I
You you and I

You and I
You you and I
Oh yeah, we're gonna die
Without you and I

We got a whole lot of money, but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven
There's only three men that I am a certain my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ
Born to run you down

(Something), something, something about the chase (six whole years)
I am a New York woman born to rock you down
So want my lipstick all over your face
(Something), something, something about just knowing when it's right
So put your dreams up for Nebraska
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you

You and I
You you and I
Baby I'd rather die
Without you and I

You and I
You you and I
Nebraska
I'd rather die
Without you and I

It's been a long time since I came around




Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without you

What I watched in this video:
1. Mermaid sex
2. Electrocution
3. Lady Gaga kissing herself
4. Lady gaga running in heels
5. Lady gaga running weirdly in a corn field
6. Lady Gaga singing with her mouth barely open.
7. Robotic arm parts
8. Art



@spammynacho

She had a boyfriend and then she left.
She went back to his home in Nebraska.
She was different, so he tried to change her.
Then she died. Then she came back to life. Then turned into a mermaid.
Everything went wrong.
So he just stopped trying to change her.
And they got married.


She explained it lol

@matthewayala8115

is it just me or is this the most underrated song and video ever by lady gaga

@stephfahey1101

nope this song is award worthy. I feel like the only reason she lost was because she was competing against Adele which was tough competition.

@honestlydontknowwhatimdoin8405

Her most underrated song and video is Til It Happens To You tbh

@lilbitofeverythin6894
