You And I
Rick James Lyrics

You and I We fit together like a glove on hand, that's right Don't you know that I would gladly take you anywhere you wanted to go?
The singer is saying that they are a perfect match, and they would love to travel anywhere with the person they are addressing.

You and me We are as close as three-part harmony, wouldn't you agree? And if by chance our romance ended it would surely be the end of me
The singer is emphasizing how close they are to the person they are addressing, saying they fit together like a harmony. They also add that if their love story were to end, it would take a toll on their well-being.

Some people might say I'm infatuated (I don't care) I don't care 'cause they really don't know They'll never see or hear the things I do with you So far as I'm concerned they all can go to
The singer is mentioning that other people might not understand how they feel, but that doesn't matter to them because nobody else experiences what they do with the person they are addressing. They don't care what others might say or think of them.

Well, alright, you squares, it's time you smoked Fire up this funk and let's have a toke It'll make you dance and some of everything Everybody get high, sing
The artist is saying how they're going to introduce some funk music and smoking weed to get people to dance and have fun, while also encouraging everyone to get high and sing endlessly.

Bustin' out Bustin' out
This is a repeated line emphasizing their desire to break free, let loose, and 'bust out' of any limitations holding them back.

We're bustin' out of this L-Seven square Freaks like you and I could never funk on there We're bustin' out, everybody come along We gon' dance on the funk and make love on the song
The L-Seven square refers to a type of ruling, strict environment that's the opposite of funky or open-minded. The singer mentions that, being 'freaks' or unconventional, they don't fit there, so they are breaking free from that environment. They invite everyone to dance to the funky beats and enjoy a romantic atmosphere from the music.

Girl, who do you belong to? My point of view is Girl, I think you're hot If we talked What words could I describe? There's no dictionary book To explain how you look
The singer is addressing a girl and asking who she belongs to. They mention how hot she is and then emphasize how they wouldn't know how to describe her in words since there's no dictionary entry to fully capture how beautiful she looks.

Girl, I think you're so Sexy, sexy, sexy Cold blooded What more can I say? Sexy, sexy, sexy Cold blooded (freak)
The artist is expressing how he sees the girl as extremely attractive, sexy, and hot, they also call her cold-blooded, perhaps insinuating she's irresistible or passionate. They note how there's nothing else to say, and they repeat the words 'sexy' and 'cold-blooded' to indicate their strong feelings.

Mary, I love you Do it, baby
The artist declares love for someone named Mary and invites them to take action/engage in an intimate activity.

Doo doo doo doo Mary Jane Mary Jane I'm in love with Mary Jane She's my main thing She makes me feel alright She makes my heart sing And when I'm feeling low She comes as no surprise Turns me on with her love Takes me to paradise
The artist mentions a character named Mary Jane, likely referring to marijuana, as their main source of pleasure, turning them on and taking him to paradise when they're feeling low.

Do you love me, Mary Jane? Yeah, whoa-oh-oh Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Now do you think you love me, Mary Jane Don't you play no games (woo) Doo doo doo doo Mary Jane
The singer asks if Mary Jane loves them back and invites confirmation of their love. They repeat the question multiple times, and later ask the character not to play games. The line 'Doo doo doo doo Mary Jane' follows, perhaps indicating the taking of more pills/drugs for pleasure.

When I came home last night You wouldn't make love to me You went fast to sleep You wouldn't even talk to me You said I'm so crazy Coming home intoxicated I said, "Just wanna love you" I just wanna love you, baby Guess that's why I'm so elated
The artist talks about coming home drunk and wanting to make love to someone, but feeling rejected when their advances were unsuccessful. The other person went to sleep instead of talking or engaging with them. They express how elated they are nonetheless, for just wanting to love them.

C'mon girl, give it to me, baby (give it to me, baby) Give it to me, baby (give it to me, baby) I betcha I'll make you hot 'til you've had enough Give it to me Give me that stuff that funk, that sweet that funky stuff (say what) Give it to me Give me that stuff that funk that sweet that funky stuff (say what) Give it to me, give it to me Give it to me, give it to me Give me that stuff That sweet, funky stuff Yoh ho, ow ow ow
The singer invites a girl to engage in intimacy repeatedly, emphasizing that they will eventually make them satisfied, they then invite them to give it to him to feel the funky pleasure in exchanging intimate acts.

Girl, you're cute, you're sweet You're such a sexy treat You are the girl that turns me on And when you're hot, you're hot I love the stuff you've got You are the kinky girl I write about in every song
The singer talks about how sweet and cute their lover is, how they turn the singer on, and how they are a source of inspiration to write songs about. They also note that they love the kinky stuff they are into.

Do do da do do da do do dah Do do bop bop, baby Do do dah do Don't be so hard to get Do do dah do do da do do dah Do do bop bop, baby Do do dah do 'Cause I will get you yet, hey
This part is essentially about trying to pursue someone and form a relationship despite any obstacles. The singer notes his determination to succeed and invites the person to not be so hard to get.

She's a very kinky girl The kind you don't take home to mother She will never let your spirits down Once you get her off the street, oh girl She likes the boys in the band She says that I'm her all-time favorite When I make my move to her room it's the right time She's never hard to please, oh no That girl is pretty wild now (the girl's a super freak) The kind of girl you read about (in new-wave magazines) That girl is pretty kinky (the girl's a super freak) I'd really love to taste her (every time we meet) She's all right, she's all right That girl's all right with me, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey She's a super freak, super freak Blow Danny! Oh girl Oh girl
The final stanza is an extended description of a 'kinky girl,' known as a super freak. She likes the boys in the band, and the artist notes that they're her all-time favorite. They express their desire to be intimate with the girl they depict. Despite her sexual nature, he believes that she's all right, and the artist reinforces their attraction to her.
