Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
And I ain't trippin' off none of her girlfriends (don't trip, Raphael)
'Cause I can't do that
We gon' be together, we gon' do this (straight up)
No, we can do this
Just me and you
Ooh, baby
Just me and you
Just the two
Just me and you
Ooh, baby
Woo, come on
Needless to say, you know I really want you
I feel like you can make me happy
Contribute to the cause and let me do my thing
Forget about what you heard, lets get personal
Just me and you
Just me and you
Now we're worried 'bout Michael (don't worry 'bout it)
Now we're worried 'bout Jonny
Now we're worried 'bout Kevin, baby
Just me and you
Just me and you
Don't worry 'bout Tracey
Don't worry 'bout Tina (we don't need nobody else)
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing
Just me and you
As far as my personal taste is concerned
I really, really love the way you're makin' me wait so long
Now that the both of us really know each other
It's time that we explored one another
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing (baby, baby)
Now we're worried 'bout Michael
Now we're worried 'bout Jonny
Now we're worried 'bout Kevin, baby (we don't need nobody else)
Just me and you
Just me and you, just the two
Don't worry 'bout Tracey
Don't worry 'bout Tina
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing
Just me and you (just me and you)
(Come on)
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing (baby)
Now we're worried 'bout Michael
Now we're worried 'bout Jonny
Now we're worried 'bout Kevin, baby (we don't need nobody else)
Just me and you
Just me and you, just the two
Don't worry 'bout Tracey
Don't worry 'bout Tina (no no worry)
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing (oh, don't worry 'bout damn thing)
Just me and you (just me and you)
Just the two
Now we're worried 'bout Michael
Now we're worried 'bout Jonny
Now we're worried 'bout Kevin, baby (we don't need nobody else)
Just me and you
Just me and you, just the two
Don't worry 'bout Tracey
Don't worry 'bout Tina (Don't worry 'bout Tracey)
Don't worry 'bout a damn thing (don't worry 'bout Tina, baby)
Just me and you (just me and you)
The song "Just Me and You" by Tony Toni Tone speaks of the desire to be alone with the one you love, away from the prying eyes of friends and other acquaintances. The singer is not bothered by the opinions of his male friends or her female friends and declares confidently that they will remain together. He is focused only on himself and his partner and nothing else matters. He urges his partner to forget everything they have heard about them and let them explore each other's personalities. As the song progresses, the singer becomes more confident in his feelings for his partner, stating that he enjoys the wait and is excited to explore each other's personality more fully.
The lyrics are straightforward and are essentially a declaration of love between two individuals. The song is about two people who want to be together, and they do not care what anyone else thinks. It speaks of the joy and excitement that two people in love experience when they are alone together. They want to get to know each other, and they are not interested in anything else; no Michael, Jonny, Kevin, Tracey, or Tina can distract them from each other. The sentiment expressed in the song is simple but powerful; true love should be between two people and two people alone.

History
Their first album was released in 1988 and was titled Who?. Read Full BioTony! Toni! Toné! was an R&B group from Oakland, California popular from their formation in 1988 to the mid to late 1990s. It was composed of D'wayne Wiggins on lead vocals and guitar, his brother Raphael Wiggins (also known as Raphael Saadiq) on lead vocals and bass, and their cousin Timothy Christian Riley on drums. Other members were Elijah Baker, Carl Wheeler, Randall Wiggins, and Antron Haile.
History
Their first album was released in 1988 and was titled Who?. The album went gold and had several hit singles. The first of these, "Little Walter", went to #1 on the R&B charts. While none of the singles went gold, the next three singles, "Born Not To Know", "For The Love Of You" and "Baby Doll" were all Top 10 R&B singles.
Firmly establishing themselves, the group's second album The Revival was released in 1990 and reached platinum status. The album spawned several #1 R&B hits with "It Never Rains", "Feels Good", and "Whatever You Want", all topping the R&B charts. "Feels Good" was the group's first single to breach the Top 10 of the Hot 100 and managed to go gold.
Furthering the group's success, they released their best selling album to date, Sons Of Soul, in 1993. The album went double platinum and had hit singles: "If I Had No Loot" which hit #7 on the Hot 100, "Anniversary" which reached #10 on the Hot 100, and "(Lay Your Head On My) Pillow" which reached #4 on the R&B charts.
In 1996, the group released their last album to date, House of Music. The album lacked the strong singles of earlier entries, only getting "Thinking Of You" into the top 10 on the R&B charts but the album still managed to go platinum.
Raphael Saadiq released his first solo effort, the Top 20 Billboard hit "Ask of You" from the Higher Learning soundtrack, in 1995. Around the same time, Saadiq became a much-sought-after R&B producer, scoring hits for D'Angelo, Total, The Roots and others. Later in the 2000s, he started a solo career, releasing two albums, Instant Vintage (2002) and Ray Ray (2004).
In 2003, most members of Tony! Toni! Toné! except for Saadiq were invited by Alicia Keys to guest on her album The Diary of Alicia Keys. The song that resulted from that session was called "Diary", and when it was released as a single in the fall of 2004, it gave them their first Top 10 US hit in eleven years. In 2005, Dwayne Wiggins became the band leader for the Weekends at the D.L. television show hosted by comedian D. L. Hughley, which airs on the Comedy Central cable network.
In 2006, the group reunited for the New Jack Reunion Tour, running throughout the U.S.
