You and Me Together
George Jones · Me and the First Lady (George Jones & Tammy Wynette) [1972]
(Jimmy Peppers)
Well, we found a life together
And it's a gonna last forever
Nothing can hurt me now 'cause you are mine.
We put away all of our sadness
We're walking every day with gladness
You and me together all the time.
Well, she wants to love me a little bit better
It's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel
He's hard giving love's true and real.
Oh, now we got a little bitty baby
We're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, we'll build a little house in the country
And we'll go to church every Sunday
We got each other and we don't need a thing.
We start every day with a sweet kiss
And that's one thing we wouldn't miss
You and me together making life sweet.
Well she wants to love me a little bit better
It's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel
He's hard giving love's true and real.
Oh, now we got a little bitty baby
We're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time.
You and me together all the time...
Well, we found a life together
And it's a gonna last forever
Nothing can hurt me now 'cause you are mine.
We put away all of our sadness
We're walking every day with gladness
You and me together all the time.
Well, she wants to love me a little bit better
It's okay I'm gonna let her
When he holds me I can feel
He's hard giving love's true and real.
Oh, now we got a little bitty baby
We're happy and we don't mean maybe
You and me together all the time.

You and me together all the time.
You and me together all the time...
