Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin



Me and you we're not that pretty

Me and you could use a lift

I'm out here on the corner crying

I got ribbons but I got no gift



Me and you we're all we've got

Me and you could be our curse

We've got bleeding hearts and flowers

You got strings but you got no purse



We're just freaks in love

Saints above

Shine on our sweet life

Happy is the union

Of fools and freaks alike



And fearless are the idiots

Among the hawks and doves

We're on the outside looking in

A couple of freaks in love



There's a wonder in this weakness

It's so beautiful sometimes

Across the universe we're lightning

In the race we're a step behind



Me and you we're not for everyone

Me and you we're damaged goods

We're antique and unacceptable

And just misunderstood
