It's You
Lou Doillon Cat Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's still you
Oh, it seems hard to believe
It's still you
I'm talkin' about yes, wherever I start
I end up with you
And I know for a fact, it's got little to do
With the stranger I see, it's just that I miss who I used to be
So I walk away and pretend (walk away, pretend, it's not you)
It's not you
That I'm runnin' from (runnin' from)
Just when I think that I'm free
I bump into you
And I wish I could change
'Cause it's all been said
I wish I could end this sick little game I play
So here I go (Here you go) it's with you
If I ever forget this one talk about you
It's just me and you, hand in hand
It's wherever I go
And it's with you
And if I ever forget, there's one to talk about you
And whatever they say, whatever you do
My love will remain exactly the same for you
Yes, right 'til the end
It's just me and you
Hand in hand
It's just me and you
And I know for a fact, it's got little to do
With the stranger I see, it's just that I miss who I used to be
Oh, it seems hard to believe
It's still you
I'm talkin' about yes, wherever I start
I end up with you
Yes, wherever I start
I end up with you
Yes, wherever I start
I end up with you
Lou Doillon and Cat Power's collaboration in "It's You" is a song that explores the themes of nostalgia, love, and regret. The singer in the song is in a position where they love someone they know they should not anymore, but they cannot help but miss who they were when they were with that person. The lyrics, "And I know for a fact, it's got little to do, with the stranger I see, it's just that I miss who I used to be," suggest that the singer has changed since being with this person, and even though they know it's not good for them, they can't help but be drawn back to them.
The line, "So here I go (Here you go) it's with you," suggests that the singer has accepted that they will always end up with this person, no matter how hard they try not to. Their love remains the same, even though they know it's not healthy. It's as if they've resigned themselves to their fate because they can't imagine a life without this person. Overall, the song explores the complexity of love and how it can make us do things even when we know they're not right.

It's one of the best colaborations I heard for a long, long time.
On repeat for hours... What a perfect match.

@timwria
this is so special...this lovely song just had been to me dedicated from a person that i loved for so many years and the last years is not the same...it changed and i do not recognise her...sometimes,even if we love deeply a person ,that person makes us feel bad,unconfortable...i love her,i always love her but she changed a lot...so i love a picture of her that i have in my mind ...i will always love her but now that she becomes cruel,she becomes somene else,someone stranger to me...i miss u...i will always love that smile of yours,your touch...that sense of happiness that you always gave me...

Lou Doillon est vraiment talentueuse. J'avais pourtant 1 avis défavorable au départ à force d'être dégoûtée de tous ces enfants de... mais force est de constater que celle ci a 1 voix et un timbre exceptionnels, une présence, du goût et qu'elle ne semble pas trop arrogante ou fake. En plus elle dessine bien.
