I have been trying to find this song for the longest time and I can't believe I finally came across it at 2am! Ryan put this song on a CD mix a long time ago for me and I just haven't been able to put my finger on the title until today -- after some Google and Soul searching.I loved this song because it was so funny and so, so true at the time he had played it for me. Yes, it's a bit graphic, and NO I was not a prostitute, and NO I did NOT hit every man I knew...but the lines that got me were in the chorus/hook:
"So if the world was to believe that what we share weren't meant to be
Then it would be just you and me against the world
And if our friends and family if our friends and family
Cant bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just you and me against the world"
This hook inspired me to frame a photo from this "photo shoot" with the caption of, you guessed it, "YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD!" That frame still sits at his desk at work to this day! When we took this photo we weren't even technically dating. I was working at Star Shots - back then the happening place to be and got hooked up all the time. Anyway, we look so you and so skinny - what happened?
At any rate, I can't believe I finally found this song...this used to be one of our jams back in our dating days - yes those dating days...pictured above! Enjoy!
You & Me, Musiq Soulchild
Verse 1:
I never thought on the first night
You would bare what you hold so dear to life
And share with me all your innermost fantasies baby
And afterwards in my arms you cried
Had me feeling some kind of way on the inside
Then I knew it was going to be me and you
Hook:
So if the world was to believe that what we share weren't meant to be
Then it would be just you and me against the world
And if our friends and family if our friends and family
Cant bear to see us both happy
Then it will be just you and me against the world, yeah
Verse 2:
Now I'm not the kind that kiss and tell
But my man said that he really knows you well
But I don't care cause I wanna know you form my damn self
And even if my sister said you scandalous
Said that you re known to go from one man to the next
But I don't care what she say
Cause you re going to forever be my lady
Hook:
I wouldn't care if you were a prostitute
And that you hit every man that you ever knew
You see it wouldn't make a difference if that was way before me and you
And you don't ever have to worry about me
As long as you keep it real
Whatever is on your mind
You speak on how you feel
Stay truthful to me
Never lie to me
And don't ever keep no secrets
No matter whatever, whatever no
Girl you know what I mean
They could say what they want
But it will never change my views
Cause they ll never know you the way that I know you
See I'm trying to share the rest of my whole life with you
And if we got to be alone, so be it baby
If they cant understand our love
Then we don't need them baby
We can go against the whole world
Even our friends turn on us
Even our family turns on us
That's alright
Cause as long as we got each other baby
Then we can make it baby
Through whatever
