rick james - you and i (live in long beach, july 1981) lyrics

[intro]
1, 2, 3, 4
do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
ahhhh, yow!

[verse 1]
you and i
we fit together like a glove on hand
that’s right
don’t you know
that i would gladly take you anywhere
you wanted to go
you and me
we are as close as three-part harmony
wouldn’t you agree?
and if by chance
our romance ended it would surely be
the end of me

[pre-chorus]
some people might say i’m infatuated (on no, baby)
but i don’t care, ’cause they really don’t know
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
they’ll never see of hear the things i do with you
so far as i’m concerned they all can go to h-ll

[bridge]
yeah, well, well well well
you and i (do-do)
you and me (do-do-do)
should be together (do-do)
eternally (do-do-do)
you and i (do-do)
you and me (do-do-do)
should be together (do-do)
yeah, woo!

dance, girls…woo!
l.a., everybody on the funk
(everybody dance on the funk, everybody dance on the funk)
oh, dancin’ on
(everybody dance on the funk, everybody dance on the funk)
now shake your booty now
(everybody shake your booty now)
shake it down, down, down
(everybody shake your booty now)
shake it down
(everybody shake your booty)
oh, down, down
(everybody shake your booty)
now dance on ’em
(everybody dance on the funk, everybody dance on the funk)
(everybody dance on the funk, everybody dance on the funk)

[interlude]
y’all ready to go home yet? you still wanna party?

before we party, i just wanna thank some people, bring it down
if y’all don’t wanna go home yet, you gotta do me a favor
