Lawrence can currently be seen in the ABC Family original comedy series Melissa & Joey, whose 2010 premiere holds the honor of being the network’s most-watched comedy series debut ever, co-starring with Melissa Joan Hart.
Joey Lawrence has long had a knack for capturing the musical zeitgeist. At age 16, he began a recording career and in 1993 he released a self-titled debut album. The album was produced by Terry Lupton, Ian Prince and Teddy Riley. Lawrence also co-wrote songs on the album, including the international hit single Nothin’ My Love Can’t Fix (Billboard Hot 100 Airplay #6, Billboard Top 40 Mainstream #10, Billboard Hot 100 #19).
Lawrence has always said music was his real passion. “It's been way too long since I've brought some new music out to my fans. I'm really excited about my brand new record. I had the privilege to write this entire record with super-producer Matthew Gerrard. We first started collaborating about a year ago and instantly connected on many levels with our music. We just kept going and going–and 9 months later had a complete record.”
Producer and co-writer Gerrard, whose chart-topping artists include Delta Goodrem, Kelly Clarkson, and Hannah Montana, says “Joey’s new album is awesome. Radio ready hits that will make you wanna dance. Bumpin’ tracks and killer vocals!” Lawrence explains: “My music is all about feeling good. It's time to get back to having fun. That's what I want my music and tour to be all about. I truly can't wait to release the record and get out there and perform the crap out of my new songs!!” (His dancing prowess is an audience favorite, too, with appearances on “Dancing with the Stars,” the TLC series “Masters of Dance,” and in the Broadway hit Chicago as Billy Flynn.)
Me & You
Joey Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As long as we stick together
Though the road ahead is rough
Our love will carry us through forever
I know times have changed
And things aren't always what they seem
But baby, let's work as one
Defy our odds to make things better
'Cause I know love is sometimes hard to figure out
But just know, together we can make it through somehow...
You're like the sun that sets so far beyond the sea
You're out of reach
But trust that we were meant to be
Romeo never felt for Juliet
The way I do about you
If I'm gonna make it through this life
I gotta hold on tight
To me and you
I know the chance we're taking
The sacrifices we're making
Paying our dues to make our dreams come true, ooh...
You think true love exists in the minds of only fools
But please don't shut me out
'Cause with love there ain't no rules
Oh, and I know love is so hard to figure out
But just know, together we can make it through somehow
You're like the sun that sets so far beyond the sea
You're out of reach
But trust that we were meant to be
Romeo never felt for Juliet
The way I do about you
If I'm gonna make it through this life
I gotta hold on tight
To me and you...
We've got love, so don't let fear stand in its way
All I know is that I am here to stay
So believe in my heart
You will never ever be alone
And just know, you must know
We were meant to be
Our love was destiny
Baby, just believe...
You're like the sun that sets so far beyond the sea
You're out of reach
But trust that we were meant to be
And Romeo never felt for Juliet
The way I do about you
If I'm gonna make it through this life
I gotta hold on tight, to me and you
Baby, baby, baby...
It's... baby, it's me and you...
"Me & You" by Joey Lawrence is a love song that explores the theme of commitment and togetherness. The lyrics express the idea that as long as two people, in this case, the singer and his lover, stay together, they can overcome any challenges or obstacles they may face in life. The song begins with a sense of optimism as the singer confidently assures his partner that, "As two we can make it through, as long as we stick together..." The lyrics suggest that despite the hardships of life and the complexity of love, they can overcome them by working together and defying the odds.
In the chorus, the singer compares his love interest to the sun, emphasizing their distance and unattainable nature, but also their importance and value in his life. He acknowledges that love can be difficult to understand, but reaffirms their commitment by saying, "together we can make it through somehow." The second verse highlights the sacrifices the couple is making to achieve their dreams, and despite any doubts or fears they may have, their love will guide them through. The song then repeats the chorus and ends on a triumphant note of faith, love, and belonging.
