You and I

This is about Luc Carl, GaGa's Nebraskan on-off boyfriend, who she has been in love with for "six whole years". He works in a bar in New York and also tries his hand at many other things. Of all the men GaGa's dated, he's the one she's fallen for most in spite of how tumultuous their relationship can be, and I don't think she ever got over him, even when they spent a couple of years apart. She was determined to get him back and I think she associates him with New York and who Gaga was at the beginning, and who Stefani Germanotta was. That's what the whole "this time I'm not leaving without you" thing is about.

I think he's had quite a heavy influence on this whole album, though not directly. He's into Rock and Roll and is obsessed with his cars, which also explains "I couldn't listen to a joke or rock 'n' roll, and muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart"

It's a lovely song.

I think it's hilarious in the video for this song,she's out there in the middle of Nebraska in her platforms and her black garb get-up looking like a New York doll scarecrow chasing down the camera. :)I can actually sing this one.lol

it's about her ex-boyfriend luc carl.

2 years ago Lady gaga made her big break, so im assuming she had to leave her boyfriend behind. Hence the lyric :

It's been two years since I let you go

he owns a bar in NYC and he's from Nebraska

here's his myspace

Now someone should revise for the album version. "Something about the chase..." etc. Either way. Worthy heir to Speechless.

I love the line "I'm a New York woman born to run you down, still want my lipstick all over your face"

Well? Say something.

My opinion (Don't attack me for having a point of view different to the majority): This song is about self-love. It is to do with find every part of yourself, all your different sides and fantasies. The things which have inspired and helped you to live as who you are, and satisfying each of those parts. In the music video she plays at least six different sides of herself, showcasing their personalities. For one example of this, there is the young girl playing the piano; she seems childlike and wholesome, wearing nightgown- type attire and smiling up naively at the older Joe Calderone (I may have misspelled that, forgive me). I think she probably symbolises LG's mid-late-teen self. She has described her upbringing as sheltered, specifically from sexuality (went to an all-girls Catholic school), and that seems to be how this character acts. And as for some of the lyrics which seem to indicate a past lover, it's instead about the aspects of her personality which she left behind. The parts of herself she forgot to please, or hadn't the chance try to because of the recent years of fame. That is how I like to think about it. I think it has a deeper message than the general opinions about her ex boyfriend. It appeals to me greatly.

I think it's just a soulful, 70's/80's inspired rock ballad, and the meaning behind it seems quite obvious in the lyrics, it seems about some guy who she had something with a couple years back, and she meets him again and insists on keeping him this time around.

I can't get this song out of my head. I love how this song has an old school rock feel to it. Its (as far as Gaga goes) pretty stripped-down and honest.
