Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings.
Bobby discovered and produced the Pet Shop Boys. The Flirts' 1982 song Passion was cited by Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe as a primary reason for the band's formation.
You And Me
The Flirts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
I know that what you want is something I can give to you
If you would only let me try
Only you can make me see it's me and you eternally
You and me
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
I dream of you each night, when I'm awake and when I sleep
For me you are the only guy
I know I love you, a heart is sure enough to steal
I wanna be your only girl
You and me
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
All those other girls don't care for you the way I do
They just want you for physical reasons
But I want you for your mind
Maybe they give you thrills but I'm no one night stand
I dream of you each night, when I'm awake and when I sleep
For me you are the only guy
Only you can make me see it's me and you eternally
Come on and be my guy
You and me
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
You and me
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
You and me
Boy, our love was meant to be
You and me
Boy, our love is heavenly
The Flirts' song "You and Me" is a simple, straightforward expression of the singer's love for the object of her affection. The lyrics are full of longing and desire, as she implores the boy to give her a chance to be with him. She assures him that their love is meant to be and that they are meant to be together forever, and she contrasts her love with that of other girls who only want him for physical reasons.
The first verse establishes the tone of the song, with the singer expressing her belief that she can give the boy what he wants if he would only let her try. She pleads with him to "be my guy" and pledges her love and devotion to him. The second verse is more direct in its expression of love, with the singer dreaming of the boy each night and proclaiming him to be the only guy for her. She acknowledges that her love for him is strong enough to "steal" his heart away from any other girl.
The chorus of the song repeats the central idea of the song: that the singer and the boy are meant to be together and that their love is heavenly. The repetition of these lines adds to the sense of longing and desire that pervades the entire song. The singer's love is pure and true, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to convince the boy of her feelings.
