Just You & I
Eddie Rabbitt & Crystal Gayle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm weak and uneasy and I'm feeling strange
Baby (Baby)
Quivering legs and trembling hands
I don't believe even Superman
Can save me (Save me)
I'm a drowning man on a raging sea
And I just got to have you
There's no other way
I just got to have you
Not tomorrow, today
The moment that I first set eyes on you
Well, I made up my mind
My love, it ain't blind, baby
I just got to have you
Well, every man's got his fantasy
But you're beyond my wildest dreams
Baby (Baby)
And I'd give everything I own
Just to get you off alone
Baby (Baby)
Turn your green light on for me
I'm a speeding man on a dead-end street
And I just got to have you (Just got to have you)
There's no other way (Just got to have you)
I just got to have you
Not tomorrow, today
The moment that I first set eyes on you
Well, I made up my mind
My love, it ain't blind, baby
I just got to have you
I just got to have you (Just got to have you)
There's no other way (Just got to have you)
I just got to have you
Not tomorrow, today
The moment that I first set eyes on you
Well, I made up my mind
My love, it ain't blind, baby

Blood rushing up into my brain
My heart is beating so fast and my mind is overwhelmed
I'm weak and uneasy and I'm feeling strange
My body is trembling, and I feel anxious and uncertain
Quivering legs and trembling hands
My legs are shaking, and my hands are jittery
I don't believe even Superman
No superhero could help me right now
Can save me (Save me)
I need your help to get through this
Throw your lifeline out to me
I need you to rescue me from my overwhelming feelings
I'm a drowning man on a raging sea
I feel like I'm sinking in overwhelming emotions
And I just got to have you
I need you with me right now, more than anything else
There's no other way
I can't go on without you by my side
Not tomorrow, today
I need you here with me immediately
The moment that I first set eyes on you
From the first time I saw you, I knew I needed you
Well, I made up my mind
I am certain that I need you in my life
My love, it ain't blind, baby
I know what I want, and it's you
Well, every man's got his fantasy
Every person has dreams and desires
But you're beyond my wildest dreams
You are more than I could have ever hoped for or imagined
And I'd give everything I own
I would sacrifice anything for you
Just to get you off alone
I want to spend time alone with you
Turn your green light on for me
Give me a sign that you want me too
I'm a speeding man on a dead-end street
I feel like I'm moving too fast in a direction that won't lead to happiness
