Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, if I could, the nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me, don't you ever get lonely?
Lord, I'm no good when you're away
What do expect from a girl, who loves you, like I love you?
Won't you ever just get tired and come on home to me?
Don't you ever get lonely?
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away, take me away
Friends say it's great now, you're a star
But what did they expect from a girl, who loved you just the way you were?
And late at night, how I wish things had never changed
When you were here with me, don't you ever get lonely?
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away, take me away
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away, take me away
Take me away
The lyrics to Marlon L. McClain's song "Me & You" reveals the longing of a woman who is in love with a man who is probably a star, someone who is always away for long hours because of his career. The song begins with the desire of the woman to live out all of her dreams with the man that she loves. She wishes that he could be with her always and longs to know if he ever gets lonely without her. The woman confesses that she is no good when he is away, and wonders if he will ever get tired and return home to her.
The chorus reveals the depth of the woman's love for this man. He is a part of her that she cannot do without, and he is what her dreams are all about. However, love cannot be held onto when it was never truly had, and so the woman waits for the wind to bring her lover back to her. The verse that follows highlights the woman's sadness at the changes that have occurred in her relationship. Her lover has become a star, and although her friends think it's great, she wishes things had never changed. She longs for the times when he was with her all the time, and once again wonders if he ever gets lonely.
In summary, "Me & You" is a song about the depth of love and the longing for a lover who is always away. The woman in the song desires to live out her dreams with the man she loves but finds it difficult to do so when he is not around. She hopes that he will come back to her, but realizes that love cannot be held onto if it was never truly had.
