You and I & I Lyrics
Well, it's for sure
Well, things came down hard
But you couldn't wait yeah
Well all I ever think about is myself
And anyone else, well they get strung out
But I get high, high, high
Well, but it's something
You better get straight
I don't got no room in my life
Take a figure and set it straight, yeah
Yeah, well, stop
Well, I, and I wanna thank you honey, I don't think so
And you better, well stop, well then try
Cause if there's a distance here between us
Well it's you and I, and I and I
Yeah, well, it's a shame
You penned her to me
Come on, stroke on my ego
Like it's never been broke by before, hell by anyone, else
And what doesn't kill you it makes you linger
And it makes you wonder
Hell for goodness sake, do you ever get sleep
Think if it's one thing I believe
What doesn't kill you doesn't stay, yeah
Yeah, well, stop
Well, I, and I wanna thank you honey, I don't think so
And you better, well stop, well then try
Cause if there's a distance here between us
Well it's you and I, and I and I
Well, but it's something
You better get straight
I don't got no room in my life
Take a figure and set it straight, yeah
Yeah, well, stop
Yeah, well, I, and I wanna thank you honey, I don't think so
And you better, well stop, well then try
Cause if there's a distance here between us
Well it's you and I, and I and I
Yeah, well, stop
Well, I, and I wanna thank you honey, I don't think so
And you better, well stop, yeah well try
And if there's a distance here between us
Then it's you and I, and I and I
this is my favorite MB20 song ever! and just like loss & strain.. i hope they release it ^_^ i especially like the line "stroke on my ego" and "well I, I don’t want to thank you Honey, I don’t think so"
Wow, those are my favourite parts too. This is such a great song. Rob Thomas makes everything beautiful.
Sorry to disappoint you ..but the only copy of Loss Strain and Butterflies that you will ever find..is a bootleg, bad copy. It was Tabitha's Secret...and doubt Rob will want another law suite from the former band members like he had with 3 A.M.
You & I & I i think they will only use as a concert "treat". But you can get bootlegs of pretty decent copies of it...the live from australia concert in '98?? Whenever it was...it is a really good copy.
I love this song, I have it in a bootleg, an acoustic version. He does sound angry in it. I am not sure about what he means with "you and I and I"...is that he has too much with himself to stand someone else?
There's a Live version available that was released in mp3 format as an extra on some (all?) versions of Mad Season
It was avaliable through the website by the Mad Season CD. But not anymore, as the site as long since been changed. Great song, a favorite of mine. I have both the version off of Mad Season and the live acoustic recorded at 99x.
To me this song is about a very narcissistic person. That why he said things like- all I ever think about is myself and also the fact that he seems to feel that everyone else gets strung out but he only gets high...I think this is why it is titled You and I and I, clearly one I is not enough because the relationship is all about him. His narcisisim is coming between them in the relationship and it is the distance between them.
lmfao, lyrics to "Could I Be You", NOT "You and I and I"
