Oh my my
Come on get dirty, ha!
Hey hey, yea yeah, ha, cut the beat now!
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Mal jalla mianhande
Wae ireoni wae ireoni jaggu ddoggateun mal
Yeogiseo uri geuman ggeunnae
Ije geuman ssaugo sipeo harudo
Geunyang neomeoganeun iri eopseo
Nae haruga uimi eopseo
Ilbun ilchodo useul il eopseo
Deoneun jasini eopseo oneureun naega malhallae
Nega eodiseo mwol hadeon sang-gwan an hallae
Gadeon maldeon ne mamdaero hae
Maebeon jigyeopdorok banbokdoeneun Every day
You and I, you and I, you and I
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Naegeseo ddeoreojyeojullae
Wae ireoni wae ireoni I son noko malhae
Myeotbeoneul deureodo ne mareun geogiseo geogi
Tired of all your lies and excuses
Now just get out my face
Doedollil su eopseo yejeoneuro
Namboda mothan sa-iga dwaesseo
Urin seoro budami dwaesseo
Neomalgon naege amudo eopseo
Deoneun sang-gwani eopseo geunyang neo-ege malhallae Oo-ooh
Nega eodiseo mwol hadeon sang-gwan an hallae

In Ailee's "U & I," the lyrics convey a message of struggling through the ups and downs of a relationship. The singer pleads with her partner to cut out the lies and just be honest with her. She's tired of putting on a facade and pretending that everything is okay when it's not. She wants to work things out and doesn't want to be in a relationship where there are constant excuses and miscommunications. The lyrics speak to the ebb and flow of any relationship, but convey the idea that if both parties are willing to be honest and work through issues, then the relationship can survive.
The opening lines of "Hey Oh my my, come on get dirty, ha!" and "hey hey, yea yeah, ha, cut the beat now!" give the song an energetic and upbeat tone. The lyrics also utilize repetition to emphasize the point being made, such as the phrase "you and I" which is repeated throughout the song.

Hey, oh my my, come on get dirty, hah!
Hey hey, yeah
Huh, cut the beat now
Wait a minute, wait a minute 말 잘라 미안한데
왜 이러니 왜 이러니 자꾸 똑같은 말
우리 중 하난 먼저 얘기해야 돼
여기서 우리 그만 끝내
이제 그만 싸우고 싶어 하루도
그냥 넘어가는 일이 없어
내 하루가 의미 없어
1분 1초도 웃을 일 없어
더는 자신이 없어 오늘은 내가 말할래
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I
Wait a minute Wait a minute 내게서 떨어져줄래
왜 이러니 왜이러니 이 손 놓고 말해
몇 번을 들어도 네 말은 거기서 거기
Tired of all your lies and excuses now just get out my face
되돌릴 수 없어 예전으로
남보다 못한 사이가 됐어 우린 서로 부담이 됐어
너 말곤 내게 아무도 없어
더는 상관이 없어 그냥 너에게 말할래
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I
네가 없는 이 곳에 남겨진 내가 울고 있을 거라 생각하겠지만
나는 괜찮아 반복 될 일 없을 테니까
너와 나 여기서 그만
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I

Thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out why one of my videos in my playlist was gone and this is why. I can’t believe they deleted the channel. It wasn’t hurting anything 😭
