You
The Jetzons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does she look both ways when she crosses that street now
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
Stopped her on the corner
Talked a while to get to know her
Are you Swedish, are you German
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
It was a basic situation of intense infatuation
Always jealous, always nervous
With a lack of information
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
Wrote a letter, bought a ticket
Put my best statistics in it
Now I'm marching for the army
And there's no way she can harm me
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you
Look Ma, I'm marching in a straight line
Left right, nothings gonna get in my way
Look out, always gonna eat right
Light's out, get a lot of sleep that way
Does she think, does she walk, does she talk
Does she drink champagne, does she do the bossa nova
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
Stopped her on the corner
Talked a while to get to know her
Are you Swedish, are you German
Well it doesn't really matter cause
I'm dazed, half crazed
So much emotion
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
You, you, you, falling for
The Jetzons’ song “You” is a love song about infatuation and the intense emotions that come with it. The lyrics are directed towards a woman whom the singer has just met and is falling for. The singer is so taken with her that he even wrote her a letter, bought a ticket and joined the army so that he could be near her. The chorus repeats the phrase “you, you, you, falling for” emphasizing the singer’s feelings for the woman he has just met.
The lyrics describe the singer as being dazed and half crazed with emotion. He is jealous and nervous, and lacks information about the woman he is attracted to. Despite this, he stops her on the corner and talks to her to get to know her better. It doesn’t matter if she is Swedish or German, as the attraction he feels for her is not based on her ethnicity. The singer is so determined to win her over that he even takes drastic measures like enlisting in the army.
The lyrics of “You” capture the intensity and excitement of falling in love with someone at first sight. The singer’s infatuation is all-consuming, and he is willing to do anything to be with the person he desires. The song is a reminder of the power of attraction and the sometimes irrational behavior it can cause.

on I Love You
This isn’t the right song. These are the lyrics to the song “You”, not the song “I Love You”. They have different lyrics with a different meaning and tone. I can’t find the real lyrics to “I Love You” anywhere! It’s always the lyrics to “You” instead.
