Stuck On Fuckin' You
Yoü and I
It's been a long time since I came around.
Been a long time but I'm back in town,
And this time I'm not leaving without you.
You taste like whisky when you kiss me, oh.
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll.
Yeah, this time I'm not leaving without you.
He said,
[Chorus]
"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,
" 'There's something, something about this place.
" 'Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face.
" 'Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy.
" 'Yeah,something about, baby, you and I.' "
[/ end of Chorus]
It's been two years since I let you go.
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock and roll.
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart.
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.
[Chorus /]
You and I.
You, you and I.
You, you and I.
You, you and I, I, I.
You and I.
You, you and I.
Oh, yeah!
I'd rather die
Without You and I.
C'mon! Put your drinks up!
We gotta whole lotta 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.
There's something, something about the chase.
SIX WHOLE YEARS.
I'm a New York woman, born to run you down.
Still want my lipstick all over your face.
Something, something about just
knowing when it's right.
So put your drinks up, for Nebraska.
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love ya!
You and I.
You, you and I.
Baby,
I'd rather die
Without You and I, I, I.
You and I.
You, you and I.
Nebraska,
I'd rather die
Without You and I.
It's been a long time since I came around.
Been a long time but I'm back in town.
And this time I'm not leaving without you.
Yoü and I was first performed by Gaga at the 2010 Elton John White Tie & Tiara Ball, raising money for AIDS. Beginning 4 days later, Gaga added the song to her Monster Ball set list, promising her fans that it would be on Born This Way. She also performed the song on NBC's The Today Show.
"I wrote this song, out of the deepest most pure, happiest place in my heart. And I want nothing from you; I don't want you to buy it; I don't want you to pay me anything to listen to it... I wrote this song because I wanted to write a great record. And I wanted you to hear it, just because I love you, and I know that all you care about is music and freedom."
- Lady Gaga
The song is about her ex and current boyfriend (this page edited 7/7/11) Lüc Carl and is believed to describe Gaga's attempt at regaining the relationship in her break from the Monster Ball in June 2010. Carl is from Nebraska.
