You & Me
Jim And Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my ol' common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to
Like unto no other
Feel simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to
Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
Lord, I hope you'll never do
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to

Long ago and far away
In the distant past, when things were very different
In my ol' common labor shoes
In the shoes I wore while doing hard physical labor for a living
I turned the world all which a way
I changed the direction of the world to suit your request
Just because you asked me to
I did it because you asked me to, with no hesitation
Like unto no other
Unlike anything else, unique in its simplicity and trueness
Feel simple love is simple true
Believing that love can be simple and true with no need for complications
There's no end to what I'd do
I will do anything and everything for you, without limits
Just because you asked me
Requesting me is enough to make me do it, out of respect and loyalty
Let the world call me a fool
I don't care what others think or say, as long as you and I are happy
But if things are right with me and you
As long as we are right and happy with each other
That's all that matters
What others say or do doesn't matter, as long as we are happy
And I'll do anything you asked me to
I will always be there for you, willing to do anything you need
Knowing how much I love you
Completely aware of my love for you
And after all that I've been through
Despite all the hardships I've faced, my love for you remains strong
I'd turn and walk away from you
If you ever asked me to leave, I would do it without hesitation
Just because you asked me to
Respectful and obedient to your wishes
Lord, I hope you'll never do
Praying that you will never ask me to leave or do something that goes against my love for you

You like to mix with people, I like to be alone
Baby you can stay out all night, and I'd just as well stay home
Two people with so little in common, and different as we can be
We come together around midnight when it's just you and me
When it's just you and me and there's nothing between us Oh, but our own sweet love
When it's time to be tender and try to remember what we're doin' here
Baby, I don't mind we're not two of a kind, just so we agree
Sometime long 'round midnight when it's just you and me
You love to hear the music, you just get up and dance around
Baby, you can act so crazy, you turn it up way too loud
Oh, I've got my share of hang-ups but you never seem to see
And as we come together 'round midnight when it's just you and me
When it's just you and me and there's nothing between us Oh, but our own sweet love
When it's time to be tender and try to remember what we're doin' here
Baby, I don't mind we're not two of a kind, just so we agree
Sometime long 'round midnight when it's just you and me

The background singer is Donna Hazard. That’s my mom. She recorded with Kenny on all his albums up until the loud 80’s. Unfortunately, she passed away in 1987 at the age of 42.
