Just You and I
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say you want me anyway, do ya?
You can handle all this fame, can ya?
Like me just the way I are
Just the way I, way I are, yeah, yeah
You would like me anyway, would ya?
You won't let me get away, won't ya?
Like me just the way I are
Say you don't wanna be a star, do you?

We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy

I don't believe no one no more
Boy, show me what you're in it for
Been on the low when it comes to love (when it comes, when it comes to love)
Said, "Do you like how I look or just how I look on you?"

Cover on a magazine in just two weeks
"Boy to watch", ain't he just, just too sweet?
Now he ain't even got time for me
I only see him on the big screen
Woke up at like five, and boy, you wasn't here
When it's my fault, she even knows that you're there
Was I just a transition?
Boy, remember where you come from

We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy

I don't believe no one no more



Boy, show me what you're in it for (in it for)
Been on the low when it comes to love (when it comes to love)
Said, "Do you like how I look or just how I look on you?"

Mm, mm
Mm, mm
How I look on you
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
How I look on you

(How I look on you)
(How I look, how I look on you)
(How I look, how I look on you, ooh) oh yeah
How I look, how I look on you
How I look, how I look on you
How I look, how I look on you (ooh)
How I look on you

Overall Meaning

In "How I Look on You," Ariana Grande sings about the pressures of fame and how it can affect a relationship. The lyrics talk about her asking her partner if they can handle her fame and still like her for who she is, not just for being in the spotlight. She questions their intentions and whether they are sincere about their feelings towards her or just using her for their own gain.


The lyrics also deal with the struggle of maintaining a relationship when one partner is constantly in the public eye and how it can put a strain on the relationship. Grande sings about feeling alone and unseen by her partner who is increasingly becoming more famous and busy. She wonders if she is just a transition for her partner and if they will remember their roots and where they came from.


Overall, "How I Look on You" is a commentary on the superficiality of fame and the difficulty of finding love and staying true to oneself in a world where image is everything.

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
I'm not one to stick around
One strike and you're out, baby
Don't care if I sound crazy
But you never let me down, no, no
That's why when the sun's up, I'm stayin'
Still layin' in your bed, singin'

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Got all this time on our hands
Might as well cancel our plans, yeah
I could stay here for a lifetime

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
So, lock the door and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more, it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I, I can do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change
Being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you, baby

[Verse 2: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande]
There's nowhere we need to be, no, no, no
I'ma get to know you better
Kinda hope we're here forever
There's nobody on these streets
If you told me that the world's endin'
Ain't no other way that I can spend it

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber, with Ariana Grande & Both]
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Ooh)
Got all this time in my hands
Might as well cancel our plans (Yeah, yeah)
I could stay here forever

[Chorus: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande]
So, lock the door and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more, it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I, I can do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't trade
Being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you

[Bridge: Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande & Both]
Woah
Baby, come take all my time
Go on, make me lose my mind
We got all that we need here tonight
[Chorus: Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber & Both]
I lock the door (Lock the door) and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more (Can't fight this no more), it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I'd rather do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change
All this lovin' you, hatin' you, wantin' you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with
You, oh, oh

[Outro: Ariana Grande]
Stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
