You & I
John Legend | Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess you don't know, that your beautiful
Try on every dress that you own
You were fine in my eyes, a half hour ago
If your mirror won't make it any clearer I'll
Be the one to let you know
You my one and only girl
Ain't nobody in the world tonight
All of the stars, you make them shine like they were ours
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
Ain't nobody in the world but you
You stop the room when we walk in
Spotlights on everybody staring
Tell all of these boys, they wasting their time
Stop standing in line, cause you're all mine
And this evening I, won't let the feeling die
I never wanna leave your side
Out of all the girls
You my one and only girl
Ain't nobody in the world tonight
All of the stars you make them shine like they were ours
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
Ain't nobody in the world
You keep wondering if you're what I'm wanting
You don't even have to try
You don't have to try
Don't try
Don't try
You don't have to try
Out of all the girls
You my one and only girl
Ain't nobody in the world tonight
All of the stars, they don't shine brighter than you are
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
You and I
Nobody in the world tonight
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
In John Legend's song "You & I," the lyrics describe a person who is enamored by their partner's beauty and wants them to know that they are the only one for them. The first verse depicts the partner fixing their makeup and trying on different dresses, indicating that they are concerned with their appearance. However, the singer reassures them that they are beautiful regardless of how they look. The chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer's partner is the only one for them, and that they do not feel the same way about anyone else. They also mention that their partner has the ability to make "all of the stars shine like they were ours," suggesting that their love is all-encompassing and perfect.
The second verse continues to emphasize the partner's beauty and how they stand out in a crowd. The singer tells other boys to stop wasting their time trying to get with their partner, as they belong to them alone. The bridge suggests that the partner is insecure and may wonder if they are truly what the singer wants, but they do not need to try to be someone else or change themselves because the singer loves them just the way they are. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus and a declaration that there is no one else in the world like their partner.
The message of the song is clear: the singer's love for their partner is all-encompassing and they see them as the only one in the world. The song encourages self-love and self-acceptance, and shows that true beauty is found not just in physical appearance but in the connection between two people.
