Is It Right? Or is it wrong?
You're visiting "You and Me (Joan Franka)". Could you be looking for "You and Me (Takasa)"? |
You and Me was the Dutch entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku performed by Joan Franka. It is about an innocent young love of herself when she was five years old and playing 'Indians' with her little boyfriend, thus why she appeared on stage during her performance wearing a Native American headdress.
It was performed third in the second semifinal following FYR Macedonia and preceding Malta. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 35 points and thus failed to qualify for the final for the 8th consecutive time. Had the results been decided on televoting alone, it would have qualified in 10th place.
Lyrics[]
I was five, you were three
We were dancing in the street
And you looked just like an angel
You looked up and saw the sky
Saw the birds and wondered why
They could fly away so high
In the morning I would wake
And my heart just couldn't wait
To play in your backyard
In the evening I would go
Telling you I love you so
And I couldn't wait to see you again
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can see that everybody knows
About you and me, but I don't really care for it
I can see that everybody knows about us
We grew up knowing love
Thanking God up above
That we could be together forever
We would never say goodbye
'Cause we promised, you and I
But our love couldn't handle time
And I see you walking by my house
And wonder why we don't play around no more
Such a shame we have no time
They were wrong and we were right
I still love you and in my mind
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can see that everybody knows
About you and me, but I don't really care for it
I can see that everybody knows about us
So I'm lying in bed thinking 'bout the old days
Thinking 'bout it all and how it ends sometimes
Was it wrong or right or was I good enough?
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can see that everybody knows
About you and me and everybody out there
And I can see that everybody knows
About you and me, but I don't really care for it
I can see that everybody knows about us
