You and Me Against the World
You and me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
When all the others turn their back and walk away
You can count on me to stay!
Remember when the circus came to town
And I was frightened by the clown;
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for you;
And me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
And for all the times we've cried
I've always felt the odds were on our side!
And when one of us is gone
And one is left alone to carry on
Well then, remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through;
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world!
Life can be a circus
They under-pay and overwork us!
And though we seldom get our due
When each day is through
I bring my tired body home and look around for you;
And me against the world
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
And for all the times we've cried
I've always felt that God was on our side!
And when one of us is gone
And one is left alone to carry on
Well then, remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through;
Think about the days of me and you
Of you and me against the world!
