Why Don't You & I
Santana [feat. Alex Band] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies
Ooh, and it's alright
Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it, then you know I'd lied, ooh
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
And take on the world and be together forever?
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
When's this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
Ooh, and it's alright
Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If said I didn't like it, then you know I'd lied, ooh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
And take on the world and be together forever?
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
Slowly, I begin to realize, this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say, "Oh, here we go again, oh"
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
And take on the world and be together forever?
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
And take on the world and be together forever?
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
The lyrics of Santana [feat. Alex Band]'s song "Why Don't You & I" are about a person who is deeply in love with someone but finds it difficult to express his feelings. The song opens with the singer expressing how he feels since the moment he spotted the person he is in love with. He feels like he's walking around with little wings on his shoes, and his stomach is filled with butterflies, which is an indication that he is experiencing love. He cannot keep his feet on the ground, and he feels like he is bouncing from cloud to cloud. The singer tries to approach his love interest several times, but he gets tongue-tied, and every time he tries to talk to them, he feels like he is chasing them around like a lovesick puppy.
As the singer unsuccessfully tries to express his feelings, he starts to realize that it's never going to end, and this is a feeling that he would have to endure for a while. However, right about the same time the person he is in love with walks by, and he gets all excited again, feeling like they can try again. The chorus then comes in, where the singer suggests that they get together and take on the world, saying "Why don't you and I get together, and take on the world and be together forever?" The chorus suggests that the singer is ready to do anything to be with the person he is in love with.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Why Don't You & I" are about the feelings of someone who is deeply in love but struggles to express their feelings. The song portrays the emotions that come with being in love, such as butterflies, feeling as if you are walking on air, and also how you can get tongue-tied and say the wrong things when trying to express your love interest.
Line by Line Meaning
Since the moment I spotted you
From the very first time I saw you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
I feel like I'm flying and constantly happy when I'm with you
My stomach's filled with the butterflies
I have this exciting feeling in my stomach like I'm falling in love
Ooh, and it's alright
It feels amazing, and everything is going to be okay
Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud
I'm ecstatic and full of energy
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
I can't wait to see you again, and I hope this feeling never ends
If I said I didn't like it, then you know I'd lied, ooh
I could never deny how great it feels to be around you
But every time I try to talk to you
Whenever I attempt to have a conversation with you
I get tongue-tied
I become nervous and can't quite express my feelings
Turns out everything I say to you
What I end up telling you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
Isn't exactly what I want to say, and it never sounds good enough
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
I propose that we start a relationship and go through life together
And take on the world and be together forever?
Let's face everything that comes our way as a team and stay together forever
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
We can flip a coin to decide, and if it doesn't go our way the first time, we can keep trying
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
I suggest that we embrace each other
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
Let's go on an adventure together, a journey that seems impossible
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
I need you with me to be whole and have a chance at success
When's this fever gonna break?
When will this strong feeling go down?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I have been inflicted with a strong feeling that feels almost unbearable
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
I'm obsessed with being with you and pursuing your affections
Slowly, I begin to realize, this is never gonna end
I'm starting to see that my feelings for you are never going to diminish
Right about the same time you walk by
At the same moment you walk past me
And I say, "Oh, here we go again, oh"
I can't help but feel excited and nervous each time I see you
So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together
I once again propose that we start a relationship
And take on the world and be together forever?
Let's face all that life throws at us and stay committed to each other forever
Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"
We should flip a coin for fun, and if it doesn't go our way, we'll try again
So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other
I suggest another embrace
And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?
Let's go on another adventure together
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
I still can't do anything without you by my side

Like walkin' 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies, and it's alright
Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud
I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down

Every time I try to talk to you, I get tongue-tied
It turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together
An' take on the world, we'll be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other
Fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
