You & I Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to listen to the love songs on repeat
Tryna figure out how they would work for me
I just wanna dance with somebody
Somebody who loved me
Now I see you standing in our garden lights
Damn, I knew when I got dressed to go that night
That I finally found that somebody
To stand by me
[Pre-Chorus]
I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you asked me to
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
And you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I
[Verse 2]
Always thought that the one thing waitin' for me
Was not a wonderful world, but a tragedy
But you went and rewrote our whole story
To an everlasting love
I used to listen to the love songs on repeat
Tryna figure out how they would work for me
I just wanna dance with somebody
Somebody who loved me
Now I see you standing in our garden lights
Damn, I knew when I got dressed to go that night
That I finally found that somebody
To stand by me
[Pre-Chorus]
I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you asked me to
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
And you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I
[Verse 2]
Always thought that the one thing waitin' for me
Was not a wonderful world, but a tragedy
But you went and rewrote our whole story
To an everlasting love
[Pre-Chorus]
I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you asked me to
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
And you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh) You and I (Oh, oh)
Until I found you and I (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, you and I (Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine (That's fine)
There's a lifetime in those eyes (There's a lifetime)
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
As you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right (No, I never got it right)
Until I found you and I
I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you asked me to
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
And you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh) You and I (Oh, oh)
Until I found you and I (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, you and I (Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Now I'm dancin' in your arms to "Eternal Flame"
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine (That's fine)
There's a lifetime in those eyes (There's a lifetime)
Now we're singin' all the words to "Sweet Caroline"
As you say to me, "I love the way you look tonight"
You know I, I never got it right (No, I never got it right)
Until I found you and I

What did Rita Ora say about "You & I"?
Genius Answer
I wrote this song hungover the day after I got married. I’d been wanting to work with [Canadian producer] Cirkut for such a long time, and I knew I couldn’t let him down, so I just went in and told him the truth. I was like, ‘Hey, I got married yesterday! I’m hanging, and I want to make a wedding song. So we did. It was the easiest song on the album. We did it in like an hour and a half. It has wedding bells in it and it references all mv favourite love songs of all time. That was a fun game-working out how to fit all those songs into it.
