Lyrics You and Me Against the World - Paul Williams

You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels 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 you were frightened by the clown
Wasn't it nice to be around
Someone that you knew
Someone who was big and strong
And lookin' out for you...

And me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried
I 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
Of you and me against the world

Life can be circus
They underpay and overwork us
Though we seldom get our due
And when each day is through
I bring my tired body home
And look around for you...

And me against the world
It feels 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, baby, when one of us is gone
And one is left alone to carry on
Well then remembering will have to do
Memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world
