You And I
Santana · Other Songs - Santana
Like walking around with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies...and it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Pre-Chorus
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
Chorus
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together
and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and
fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
When's this fever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Pre Chorus - repeat
Chorus - repeat
Bridge
Slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again'
Pre-Chorus - repeat
Chorus - Repeat
You And I - Santana
Santana's 'You And I' stands as a testament to the band's enduring ability to blend rock energy with Latin rhythms. Released during a period of significant artistic evolution, the track exemplifies the fusion style that defined their catalog, particularly following the success of 'Supernatural.' The song features the band's signature layered guitar work and driving percussion, creating a vibrant soundscape that transcends genre boundaries. While often associated with the broader 'Latin Rock' movement of the 1990s, 'You And I' captures the raw, improvisational spirit that Santana brought to every recording. It remains a staple in their live performances, showcasing the group's commitment to musical excellence and their unique ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations. The track is a prime example of how Santana continued to innovate within the rock and Latin music landscape, maintaining relevance through dynamic composition and powerful vocal delivery.
