Rebecca St. James - You Then Me lyrics

It's my turn, it's not your turn

It's my turn, get outta my way

It's my turn, go on, complain

I'm coming through anyway

Don't ask me why I'm like this

But lately I'm wondering if it'll come to pass

That the last shall be first and the first shall be last

Then the voice says

Here's the way it oughta be

You, then me, then you, then me

Well, I pray one day we'll all agree

And take it you, then me, then you, then me

Life could go you, then me, then you, then me

It's easy, you wait, then go

It's easy, so make your move

It's easy, don't clown around

Could've gone six times by now

But no sir, you gotta be a pain

Or is this your way of saying

We should all cool down

And be more like the Man who was born back in Bethlehem town?

I betcha He'd say…

Here's the way it oughta be

You, then me, then you, then me

Well, I pray one day we'll all agree

And take it you, then me, then you, then me

Life could go you, then me, then you, then me

If we could only put You first

Maybe this ugly trend could one day be reversed

It's your turn, it's not my turn

It's your turn, well, let's just say

We'll trade off, first you, then me

Then after that, we might agree

Let's try it, it could be good

And what if one day it should really come to pass

That the last shall be the first and the first shall be last

Betcha we'd say…

Here's the way it oughta be

You, then me, then you, then me

Well, I pray one day we'll all agree

And take it you, then me, then you, then me

Life could go you, then me, then you, then me, yeah
