You & Me
Easyworld Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now feel it good and dirty
I'm gonna hurt somebody
I hope you're feeling thirsty sweet thing
Cause I'm courting controversy

I know you look like you're innocent baby
I know you tell all your friends that you hate me
But every weekend you're at it like crazy

You and me

So come around and see me
I mix a mean martini
And maybe later beat me senseless
And after dinner eat me

I know you look like you're innocent baby
I know you tell all your friends that you hate me
But every weekend you're at it like crazy
You and me

Yeah yeah yeah
Its some fine revolution
And there's nobody can keep you down

I've paid you bitch now love me, yeah
Cause that's the way it is now

Overall Meaning

The song "You and Me" by Easyworld is a sarcastic yet playful take on a tumultuous relationship. The first verse sets the stage for the rest of the song as the lyrics "feel it good and dirty" and "gonna hurt somebody" lay out a confrontational attitude towards the relationship. The singer then talks about how they are "courting controversy" and even though the other person may seem innocent, the "weekend[s]" reveal otherwise. This is followed by an invitation to "see me" and a promise of a "mean martini" as well as an invitation to "beat me senseless" and "eat me" after dinner.

The chorus repeats the theme of the two people being involved in a tumultuous relationship despite outward appearances of dislike. The lyrics "I know you look like you're innocent baby / I know you tell all your friends that you hate me / But every weekend you're at it like crazy / You and me" are repeated twice throughout the song. The bridge is especially defiant with the singer proclaiming "Its some fine revolution / And there's nobody can keep you down / I've paid you bitch now love me, yeah / Cause that's the way it is now."

Overall, the song is a humorous way of portraying a relationship that is intense and passionate despite the circumstances. An interesting interpretation of the song could be that the two people involved in the relationship are not willing to conform to societal expectations of what a relationship should look like and instead choose to be themselves and follow their own path.
