Barenaked Ladies - You + Me Vs The World

Copied!

{Verse 1}
If I was stuck inside a burning building
I'd wanna be there with you
The final seconds of a thrilling ending
Know we'd Macguyver it through

{Pre-Chorus}
'Cause when I'm with you
I've got no need to be afraid
Despite what they do
You know we always get away
Throw us in any compromised position
Stand back and watch what we do

{Chorus}
It's you and me against the world
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against the world
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance

{Verse 2}
If I was blown out of the airlock with you
Into the vacuum of space
A gravity assisted slingshot
We'd do an interstellar embrace

{Pre-Chorus}
So bring on the fire swamp
We're never giving up
I'll be your Westley
You'll be my Buttercup

{Chorus}
It's you and me against the world
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against the world
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance

{Bridge}
The world looks in our eyes
Can't help but realize
This is not a fight it's gonna win
It's throwing in the towel and giving in

{Chorus}
It's you and me against the world
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against the world
There's no white flags when you're my girl
Just you and me against the world

You and me against the world
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance

edit bio

Barenaked Ladies is a Canadian rock band that was formed in Scarborough, Ontario in 1988. The band has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and has won eight Juno Awards throughout their career.

The group originally started as a duo consisting of Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who were both counselors at a music camp. Robertson's previous band had dissolved, leading him to learn all of Page's songs and eventually start performing together. The name "Barenaked Ladies" was initially created as a one-time name for a charity gig, but the duo decided to keep it.

Their unique style of creating songs on the spot based on audience requests helped them gain popularity, and they were soon offered opening slots on regional and national tours. The addition of Andy & Jim Creeggan on percussion and bass, as well as drummer Tyler Stewart, solidified the band's lineup.

Barenaked Ladies gained national exposure when Toronto city officials deemed their name offensive, leading to coverage in major newspapers and on television. Their self-released Yellow Tape became the first independent release to achieve platinum status in Canada.

The band's breakthrough came with their album "Gordon" in 1992, which produced several hit singles including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." Subsequent albums like "Stunt" and "Maroon" solidified their success with chart-topping hits like "One Week" and "Pinch Me."

After the departure of Steven Page in 2008, the band continued to release albums and tour, achieving moderate success in North America. They reunited with Page for a performance at the 2018 Juno Awards when they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

Barenaked Ladies' unique blend of humor and catchy melodies has endeared them to fans around the world, cementing their status as one of Canada's most successful and enduring musical acts.
