You And I
Lulu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I just don't seem to get along
Could be we must have started all out wrong all way back
Year long ago
You and I don't know why we even bother
We seem to bring out the worst things in each other
So much baby, so much

But I know it's not my fault
I know I tried so hard to judge fairly everything that I see
Try to find out if it's you or me
But I want things to work out
I think they would if only
We just give another chance
If so I think it would enhance
We could be together
You and I
Forget it!

You and I too well brought up lucky beings
We'd do well by each other never see you again
You and I have to go our seperate ways
I found out being nice just doesn't play anymore
No anymore

But I know it's not my fault
I know I tried so hard to judge fairly everything that I see
Try to find out if it's you or me
But I want things to work out
I think they would if only
We just give another chance
If so I think it would enhance
We could be together
You and I
Forget it!

You and I




You and I
You and I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lulu's song "You and I" depict a relationship that is not working out. The couple seems to have started off on the wrong foot, and despite their best efforts, they always seem to bring out the worst in each other. The singer acknowledges that she has tried to be fair and figure out the root of the problem, but ultimately, their attempts to make it work have failed. The chorus repeats the phrase "You and I" three times, emphasizing the failed connection between the couple.


The song's lyrics are relatable as many have been in a situation where a relationship just does not work out despite the efforts put in by both parties. The song effectively communicates the frustration and pain of trying to hold onto a relationship that is not meant to be. The chorus repeated at the end reinforces the fact that sometimes, relationships do not work out, and it is better to let go and move on.

Мы с тобой просто не ладим
Может быть, мы должны были начать все с нуля
Год назад
Ты и я не знаю, почему мы вообще беспокоимся
Кажется, мы выявляем худшие вещи друг в друге
Так много, детка, так много
Но я знаю, что это не моя вина
Я знаю, что так старался судить обо всем, что вижу
Попробуй выяснить, это ты или я
Но я хочу, чтобы все получилось
Я думаю, что они бы, если бы
Мы просто даем еще один шанс
Если так, то я думаю, что это улучшит
Мы могли бы быть вместе
Ты и я
