Why don`t you & I
山塔那Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies (ooh) and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
Whens this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around
(Ooh)And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
(Only second time through)
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
The song "Why Don't You & I" by Santana featuring Chad Kroeger is a love song about a man who has fallen for a woman and can't seem to string the right words together to communicate his feelings. He compares the feeling of being in love to having little wings on his shoes and feeling like he's bouncing on clouds. However, when he tries to talk to the woman he likes, he gets tongue-tied and can't articulate his feelings properly.
Despite his struggles to communicate, the man suggests that they get together and take on the world, be together forever, and try again even if they fail. He feels like he's chasing her around like a love-sick puppy and is willing to do whatever it takes to be with her, even if it means flying to the moon and straight on to heaven holding each other.
The song's lyrics are simple but effective, capturing the emotions of a man in love who is struggling to express himself. The chorus incorporates a call-to-action for the woman to join him and take on the world together, making it an upbeat love song with a positive message.

Since the moment I spotted you
Ever since I first laid eyes on you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
Feeling light and buoyant as if I were flying
My stomach's filled with the butterflies (ooh) and it's alright
Experiencing excitement and nervousness, but feeling good about it
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
Feeling ecstatic and euphoric as if I were floating on clouds
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
Feeling like the high of being in love will never end
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
I can't deny my feelings for you
Every time I try to talk to you
Every attempt I make to speak with you
I get tongue-tied
I can't find the right words to say
Turns out that everything I say to you
What I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
Doesn't convey what I really mean or feel
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Let's join forces and take on the world as a team, being together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
Whether things go our way or not, we'll keep trying

Let's embrace each other and soar to great heights
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
I need you in my life to feel complete and fulfilled
Whens this fever gonna break?
When will this intense feeling of love subside?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I feel like I'm at my limit with these intense feelings
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around
I'm like a puppy dog in love, always following you around
(Ooh)And it's alright
But it's okay, because being in love feels good
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
I'm starting to accept that my love for you is never going to go away
Right about the same time you walk by
And coincidentally, you happen to walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
And I can't help but sigh and think, 'Here we go again'
