  • Just me and you girl
    Whoa oh
    Just me and you girl
    Whoa oh

    Trying to sneak upstairs to your apartment
    Aren't you a sight for red eyes
    I just flew in and slipped in on your left side
    Just a satin gown, you asleep with no make-up
    I'm just tryna be inside you 'fore you wake up

    Just me and you girl
    Whoa oh

    We had problems but it's all in the past
    Everybody got problems baby, algebra class
    Remember I used to do things that'd make you laugh
    Like orderin' a girl drink in a masculine glass
    You like piña coladas, getting caught in the rain
    Or rocking flannels all summer like Kurt Cobain
    Or that Dolce Gabbana with a few gold chains
    And you the type of girl that probably deserve a new last name
    But, they never let us do our thing
    Everybody lying on who I bang
    We was on fire but they blew our flame
    Ain't no denying baby you have changed
    Cause now your high heels clicking, your lip gloss glisten
    Your hips start switching, you're pissed off, tripping
    Cause even when we're kissing baby girl feel different
    Friends all diss him like, "No he didn't?
    No he didn't, is you talking about Kitten?
    Is that bitch still stripping?
    Trying to get a pair of Christians?"
    I swear to God that they got you going crazy
    But you play it off and say, "How is work baby?"
    Well some of the models is too coked up to walk straight
    But seem to still love the man that they all hate
    But babe I call you back and say that you say that always
    And kept me on the phone and demanded they all wait
    See, she knew about all my lies the whole time
    And my credit's so bad I can't get no one to cosign
    I would've thought she would've bust in the door cryin'
    But she upped and left a nigga and she ain't give me no sign
    Now, she back in the club in a tight dress
    With dreams of someday wearing a white dress
    Seen with some lame, it's a miracle that she'd
    Talk to a nigga with a ten-year ago swag
    Plus I don't like none of her girlfriends
    Quote unquote, "Cause her girlfriends got girlfriends."
    On the phone, hollin' that "niggas is whatever"
    Let's fly to Euro and make this the best summer ever
    Now she heading to Rome, Rome is the home
    Rome is where she act like she ain't got no fucking phone
    I accept that I was wrong, except a nigga grown
    So I can't bitch and moan, in a session gettin' stoned
    So a nigga had to hop on a plane
    A bus and a train, to try to come and talk and explain
    Rented the whole bottom floor for a candlelight dinner
    Turned the lights out and put my candle right in her
    And told her, "Even though I met you in a club in a tight dress
    At first sight I could picture you in a white dress."
    Thirty foot train, diamond from Lorraine
    Just to make up for all the years and the pain
    Family on both sides, I'm so glad you came
    Aunty couldn't make it, oh no that's a shame
    Wedding in June, what could be better?
    Let's fly to Euro, make this the best summer ever
    Take the very last car of the Eurostar
    Tell the conductor, "Just drive so far"
    Told some of your friends and they wasn't excited
    Well we gon' tour the countryside and they won't be invited
    We will not be disturbed by the fussin' and fighting
    Tell Peaches light the herb cause we just reunited
    Let's make a move from these herds, go somewhere in private
    I'm talking just me and you and the plane and the pilot

    Just me and you girl
    Whoa oh
    Just me and you girl
    Whoa oh Writer/s: KANYE OMARI WEST, ROBERT F. DIGGS
