You and I Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met

But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has
but


[Refrain: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
You and I

[Verse 2: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
Me and you
What can we do
When the words we use sometimes
Are misconstrued

Well, I won't guess
What's coming next
I can't ever tell you
The deepest well I've ever fallen into

[Bridge: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't need to know
Everything about you
Oh, I don't wanna know
And you don't need to know
That much about me
[Verse 5: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but


[Refrain: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
You and I

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
