Lady Gaga – ‘Yoü and I’

“Yoü and I” is a single by American recording artist and songwriter Lady Gaga taken as the fourth single from her second studio album, Born This Way.

Written by Gaga and co-produced with Robert John “Mutt” Lange, “Yoü and I” is a rock and roll-influenced song that samples Queen’s “We Will Rock You” (1977) and features electric guitar by Brian May.

“Yoü and I” was inspired by Gaga’s relationship with former boyfriend Lüc Carl, and is a slow tempo song featuring instrumentation from electric guitars and piano, with Gaga and Lange providing background vocals.

Lyrics for Lady Gaga – Yoü and I

[Verse 1:]
It’s been a long time since I came around
It’s been along time but I’m back in town
But this time I’m not leaving without you

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me oooh
I’ll give up anything again to be your baby doll
Yeah this time I’m not leaving without you

[Hook:]
You 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 for 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 – Yoü and I

[Verse 2:]
It’s been two years since I let you go,
I couldn’t listen to a joke or rock ‘n’ 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, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Hook:]
You 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 for 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

Something, something about this place
Something ‘bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about
Baby Yoü and I

Yoü and I
You, yoü and I
You, yoü and I
You, yoü and I, I
Yoü and I
You, yoü and I
Oh yeah! I’d rather die
Without yoü and I

C’mon!
Put your drinks up!

[Verse 3:]
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 Imma serve my whole life
It’s my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ

Something, something about the chase
Six whole years
I’m a New York woman, born to run you down
So have 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 you

Yoü and I
You, yoü and I
Baby! I rather die!
Without yoü and I

Yoü and I
You, yoü and I
Nebraska! I rather die
Without yoü and I

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.
