Despite its softer sound, the song remained consistent with Cooper's narrative approach to music, often telling stories through his lyrics. "You and Me" stands as a notable entry in Alice Cooper's discography, highlighting a unique phase in his career and proving his capacity for crafting successful ballads alongside his more characteristic rock anthems.
Alice Cooper - You And Me Lyrics
When I get home from work
I want to wrap myself around you
I want to take you and squeeze you
'Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some lovin'
And TV, 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
Sometimes when you're asleep
And I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I want to 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 no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some lovin'
And TV, yeah
That's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, sweetheart
That's just enough for me
You and me ain't no super stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some popcorn
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
You're just enough for me
When I get home from work
I want to wrap myself around you
I like to hold you squeeze you
'Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
You and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Of lovin'
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am well that's what I am
I tell you, baby
That's just enough for me
