Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn't even want me around.
And now I'm back to let you know I can really shake 'em down.
Do you love me?
(I can really move, )
Do you love me?
(I'm in the groove.)
(Do you love me now that I can dance?)
Watch me, now.
(Work, work)
Ah,work it out baby.
(work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy.
(work, work)
With just a little bit of soul, now
(work!)
Now I can mash potatoes, I can do the twist,
Tell me, baby, do you like it like this?
Tell me,
(Tell me,)
Tell me.
Do you love me?
(I can really move, )
Do you love me?
(I'm in the groove.)
Now do you love me?
(Do you love me now that I can dance?)
Watch me, now.
(Work, work)
Ah,work it out baby.
(work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy.
(work, work)
With just a little bit of soul, now
(work!)
Now I can mash potatoes, I can do the twist,
Tell me, baby, do you like it like this?
Tell me,
(Tell me,)
The lyrics to Mr. Sche & Pimpminista's song "You & Me" are actually taken from the 1962 hit single "Do You Love Me" by The Contours, written by Berry Gordy Jr., the founder of Motown Records. The song is about a man who was rejected by a woman because he couldn't dance, but has since learned how to dance and is now showing off his skills to win her back. The lyrics are filled with metaphors about dancing and moving to represent the man's confidence and determination to win her back.
In the first verse, the man is recalling how the woman broke his heart by rejecting him because he couldn't dance, and how she didn't want him around. However, he is now back and letting her know that he can "really shake 'em down," meaning he has improved his dancing skills and is now confident enough to pursue her once again.
The chorus of the song asks the woman if she loves him now that he can dance, and he proceeds to show off his moves while repeating the phrase "work, work" as a way of expressing his dedication and persistence.
Overall, the lyrics to "You & Me" are a fun and lighthearted take on the classic theme of trying to win back a lost love, using dance as a metaphor for self-improvement and perseverance.
