Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams Me For You, You For Me Lyrics

You say you look to me
To come around and, baby, when the chips are down
You tell how he nearly brought you to the ground
That makes me frown
Because it's quite the same
When you tell me how she scolded you about my name
When you called her in the night while you played her game
That gets me down

So why do we spend so many nights deceiving?
Somebody that we know will soon be leaving
We're so deep in the forest that we can't see the trees
Why do we spend so many nights deceiving?
Somebody that we know will soon be leaving
We're so deep in the forest that we can't see the trees

It's me for you, it's you for me
It's me for you, it's you for me

Now would you look at me Is this the look that comes from just a passing friend?
Is this the kind of talk that comes from closest kin?
Don't you get down
Because it's quite the same
When I'm with him and I hold him but I call your name
And he looks as though he doesn't understand the pain
Of waiting around

So why do we spend so many nights deceiving?
Somebody that we know will soon be leaving
We're so deep in the forest that we can't see the trees
Why do we spend so many nights deceiving?
Somebody that we know will soon be leaving
We're so deep in the forest that we can't see the trees

It's me for you, it's you for me
It's me for you, it's you for me...
