You And Me Lyrics
When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some lovin' and t.v. yeah.
That's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
Sometimes when you're asleep and
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'.
If I could take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
You and me ain't no superstars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some popcorn and t.v. yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete ...
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some lovin' and t.v. yeah.
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'.
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some popcorn and t.v. yeah.
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
that would make my day complete ...

To me it is about someone who knows he has his soulmate. They may not have much money, but they know they will always have each other. Me and my hubby played it as one of our wedding songs because we relate to it :)
One of my favorite Alice ballads.... even popular enough for him to perform it on the Muppet show!
It's an awesome song, maybe his best song.
one of the best songs ever, Makes me belive in that kind of love.
I always thought this was some sort of satire, some sort of joke. I am not sure of that, but that is what it sounds like to me.
Frank Sinatra said after performing this song at the hollywood bowl -backstage -to Alice "you are one of the most talented song writers ever."
I agree. This is one of the most un-Alice songs he ever did. It just has to be satire. Tell me that these awful lyrics could be anything more than a joke: "we share a bed, some lovin', and TV".
I've never seen this as a satire at all. One of the best aspects of Alice Cooper to me is his ability to balance that dark humor and over the top shock aesthetic with some really tender and personal ballads. I don't detect the slightest bit of sarcasm in his voice here.
this is the song my parents call "their song" my dad says it describes them perfectly, and after 22 years, still goin strong
I always thought Alice was underrated as a singer, and especially a singer of ballads. I used to cringe at glam rockers, (like Poison), doing ballads. Alice actually has a beautiful voice, when he's not growling. Plus he's a great lyricist.
@Ronnietalktorussia Agree. Lately I have come to appreciate him as an artist. Written during "simpler" times (and a recession) t distinctly remember appreciating the message of this song. I was working as a waitress when this song came over the radiok and a coworker said "I hate this song because it encourages people to just settle, to not try to improve themselves".

Right on Alice!
