Newman, Randy - Love Story Lyrics






I like your mother
I like your brother
I like you
And you like me too
We'll get a preacher
I'll buy a ring
We'll hire a band
With an accordion
A violin
And a tenor who can sing

You and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby

We'll have a kid
Or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight
We don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup
Someday he may be president
If things loosen up

You and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby

I'll take the train into the city ev'ry mornin'
You may be plain - I think you're pretty in the mornin'
And some nights we'll go out dancin'
If I am not too tired
Some nights we'll sit romancin'
Watching the Late Show by the fire

When our kids are grown
With kids of their own
They'll send us away
To a little home in Florida
We'll play checkers all day
Until we pass away

Newman, Randy Love Story Comments
  1. S.... ....

    This song is an absolute masterpiece

  2. m.... ....

    a terrible (maybe because it's realistic)  proposal in 3:23 -absolutely  loooove it!

  3. L.... n....

    short people is one of my favorites.

  4. L.... n....

    you got a friend in me from toy story.

  5. L.... n....

    watch diane ross and bill cosby skit singing this song on her tv special in1971.

  6. N.... B....

    People know Randy Newman for the wrong reasons, mostly his silly songs. But he is a master of the ballad with emotionally wrought lyrics.

  7. T.... B....

    Brings tears and smiles every time I hear this.

  8. E.... S....

    Easily one of the top 5 love ballads of ALL TIME, when musicians loved to charm the hell out of the lyric and the true soul of word-sound. No more bent-musicians in the 21st Century; otherwise bury me back in the 20th Century.

  9. p.... ....

    FUCK YEAH!!!!!! RANDY NEWMAN!1!!!!!!!1111!!!!!

    Nilsson

    P.... D....

    track 2 of "Nilsson sings Newman" is what you are remembering. Both of them are great songwriters, and great performers. The album was entirely of Harry performing songs written by Randy. However, this track is Randy's own performance of his own song. I agree, it is hard to tell them apart.

    @Rick Emry I love both artists immensely, but Nilsson really made this song his own in my opinion.
