Yoü And I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time, but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I'd give anything to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you
He said: Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love the first time, and you said to me
(Something) something, something about this place (uh-uh, uh-uh)
(Something) something 'bout lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Something) something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I
It's been two years since I let you go
I couldn't listen to a joke or a rock and roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart (heh)
On my birthday, you sang me A Heart of Gold
With a guitar humming and no clothes
This time I'm not leaving without you
Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love the first time, and you said to me, yeah
(Something) something, something about this place (uh-uh, uh-uh)
(Something) something 'bout lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face
(Something) something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I
You and I, you and I
You, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
I'd rather die, without you and I
We got a whole lot of money, but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven
There's only three men that I'ma serve my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ
(Something) something, something about this place (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Oh love, baby, I'm in New York, New York to run you down
To have my lipstick all over your face
Something, something about just knowing when it's right
So put your drinks up for Nebraska
Nebraska, Nebraska, I love ya
You and I
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
