Alice Cooper „You and Me”

„You and Me” is a 1977 song by Alice Cooper, released in 1977 as the lead single from his album Lace and Whiskey.

The song was an easy listening ballad, reaching #9 on the US singles charts in 1977. It may have alienated even the biggest of Cooper’s rock fans as it turned out to be his last US top-ten hit until „Poison” 12 years later.

Cooper regularly performed „You and Me” live on his 1977 and 1978 concert tours. He also performed the song on The Muppet Show in 1978, as a duet. Frank Sinatra performed „You and Me” as a tribute to Cooper, after Cooper helped a young boy gain entry into a baseball game. The boy turned out to be Sinatra’s best friend’s son.

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 …
