Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oo wee baby I declare you sure look fine
A girl like you has made many a man change his mind
Baby when you walk you know you shake like a willow tree
Baby when you walk you know you shake like a willow tree
A girl like you would just love to make a fool of me
Let me love you little darlin'....let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' 'til your good love drives me crazy
Let me love you baby....let me love you baby
Let me love you little darlin'....let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' 'til your good love drives me crazy
The lyrics to Trouble and Strife's song "Me and You" are a testament to their love for their significant other. The first two lines of the song express admiration for their partner's appearance, stating "Oo wee baby I declare you sure look fine/A girl like you has made many a man change his mind." The singer is clearly smitten with their partner and is expressing their admiration for their beauty.
The second verse, however, reveals a bit of apprehension on the part of the singer. They describe their partner's walk as being like a "willow tree" and suggest that a girl like their partner might "just love to make a fool" of them. This shows that despite their admiration for their partner, the singer is not entirely confident in their relationship.
Despite this, the chorus of the song is a plea to their partner to let them love them fully and completely. The repetition of the phrase "let me love you" emphasizes the singer's desire to be with their partner and to love them in a way that will drive them both crazy.
