You and Me
Musiq & Musiq Soulchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought on the first night
You would bare what you hold so dear to life
And share with me all your innermost fantasies baby
And afterwards in my arms you cried
Had me feeling some kind of way on the inside
Then I knew it was going to be me and you

So if the world was to believe that what we share weren't meant to be
Then it would be just you and me against the world
And if our friends and family if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just you and me against the world, yeah

Now I'm not the kind that kiss and tell
But my man said that he really knows you well
But I don't care cause I want to know you for my damn self
And even if my sister said you scandalous
Said that you're known to go from one man to the next
But I don't care what she say
'Cause you're going to forever be my lady

So if the world was to believe that what we share weren't meant to be
Then it would be just you and me against the world
And if our friends and family if our friends and family
Can't bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just you and me against the world

I wouldn't care if you were a prostitute
And that you hit every man that you ever knew
You see it wouldn't make a difference if that was way before me and you
And you don't ever have to worry about me
As long as you keep it real
Whatever is on your mind
You speak on how you feel
Stay truthful to me
Never lie to me
And don't ever keep no secrets
No matter whatever, whatever no
Girl you know what I mean

They could say what they want
But it will never change my views
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I know you
See I'm trying to share the rest of my whole life with you
And if we got to be alone, so be it baby
If they can't understand our love
Then we don't need them baby
We can go against the whole world
Even our friends turn on us
Even our family turns on us
That's alright
'Cause as long as we got each other baby




Then we can make it baby
Through whatever
