You and I
Cindy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are on earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love, it's true
I've really found someone like you

Will it stay, the love you feel for me?
Will it say that you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through?

Well, in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love, you and I
You and I
You and I

I am glad
At least in my life I found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
I found my strength in you

I only pray
That I have shown you a brighter day
Because that's all that I am living for
You see
Don't worry what happens to me

'Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love, you and I
You and I
You and I
You and I

In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love, you and I




You and I
You and I

Overall Meaning

The song You and I by Cindy is a beautiful and heart-wrenching ballad about love and letting go. The lyrics talk about leaving someone because you feel like you would only be in their way and taking with you only bittersweet memories. The singer expresses her love for her partner and wishes them joy, happiness, and love. The chorus repeats the line "I will always love you," emphasizing the depth of her feelings.


The first verse suggests that the singer knows that her presence may not be the best thing for her beloved, leading her to decide to leave. However, the line "I'll think of you every step of the way" implies that even in the absence of her partner, he/she will always be on the singer's mind. In the next verse, the singer acknowledges that the memories of love are all she is taking away from the relationship, and she implores her partner not to cry because they both know that they are not meant for each other. The lines "I will always love you, you" and "Darling, I love you" reveal the depth of her feelings while accepting that the relationship is not meant to last.


The chorus is the most iconic part of the song, repeating the line "I will always love you" several times in different tones and variations. The singer's voice rises and falls with emotion, expressing the pain of letting go and yet still holding on to love. The song's final lines reiterate the singer's love for her partner, emphasizing that she will always cherish them.

You and I, can have a fun
You and I, we can freak all night
You know how to break the rules
You and I

Baby, what you tryna do?
Make me fall in love with you?
I'm not looking for a man
I just wanna be your friend
Sometimes you make me feel so curious
So please don't take me serious
I'm not looking for someone
I just wanna have some fun

You and I, we'll make a date
You and I, we can dance all night
But remember, we'll stay as friends
You and I

Baby, how you feel tonight?
To please yourself and make it right
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Everything will be alright
Sometimes my love can be so serious
But don't you make me curious
I'm not looking for someone
I just wanna have some fun

You and I, can have a date
You and I, we can freak all night
You know how to break the rules
You and I
If your love could be for real
Show me how to make me feel
But remember, we'll stay as friends
You and I

You and I, You and I
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
You and I, You and I
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

What's up P.J.?
Ey, not too much man, how's it goin?
Oh I'm just here cruising
trying to find somebody to pick up
and she is a good lookin' chick
I bet it is
Hey, look at that chick
Oh I see her
Let me go there and see what's happenin'
Hey baby, can I take you home with me?
Give me a break

You and I, You and I
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
You and I, You and I
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
