About Yoü and I

"Yoü and I" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, taken from her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). She also co-produced it with Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The track samples Queen's "We Will Rock You" (1977) and features electric guitar by Queen's Brian May. Gaga debuted "You and I" in June 2010 during her performance at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball. Footage of the performance appeared on the Internet, and positive response encouraged her to include the song on her setlist for The Monster Ball Tour. She later performed the song on Today to a record crowd in July 2010, and on The Oprah Winfrey Show in May 2011. On August 23, 2011, Interscope Records released the song as the fourth single from the album. "You and I" is a slow tempo song featuring instrumentation from electric guitars and piano, with Gaga and Lange providing background vocals. The song received critical acclaim, with reviewers listing it as one of the highlights from Born This Way. After the release of the parent album, "You and I" charted in Canada, United Kingdom and the United States, due to digital downloads from the parent album. Season ten American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart performed "You and I" in May 2011 before its release, earning positive reviews. Her studio recording was released to the iTunes Store as a single, and appeared on the compilation album, American Idol Top 5 Season 10. "You and I" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards, which was held on February 12, 2012. The accompanying music video for "You and I" was also met with a positive response. It was shot by Gaga's long-time collaborator Laurieann Gibson in Springfield, Nebraska, and it was released on August 16, 2011. It features Yüyi, Gaga's mermaid alter ego, and Jo Calderone, Gaga's male alter ego, who also appears on the single's cover. Gaga later performed the song dressed as Jo Calderone at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The song has subsequently been performed on the singer's concert tours and residencies. more »

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'll give anything again
To be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you

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

(Something)
Something, something about this place
(Oh oh, oh oh)

(Something)
Something about lonely nights
And my lipstick on your face

(Something)
Something, something about my
Cool Nebraska guy

Yeah, something about
Baby, you and I

Been two years
Since I let you go
I could've listened 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 the guitar humming
And no clothes
This time I'm not leaving without you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

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

(Something)
Something, something about this place
(Oh oh, oh oh)

(Something)
Something about 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, you and I
You, you and I
You, you and I, I

You and I
You, you and I
Oh yeah, I'd rather die
Without you and I

Come on!
Put your drinks up!

You 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 the chase
(Oh oh, oh oh)
(6 whole years)

(Something)
I'm a New York woman
Born to run you down
Still want my lipstick all over your face

(Something)
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 rather die
Without you and I, I

You and I
You, you and I
Nebraska I rather die
Without you and I, I

It's been a long time
Since I came around
Been a long
But I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without you
