"You Me & He" by Mtume

(written by James Mtume)

There's something I wanna say
Try and understand
There's another in my life
He's my lover and I'm your wife


(chorus)
You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby?
You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby?


I was too blind,blind to see
I never thought,never thought it could happen to me
Then I knew (yeah) things had changed
Cause when we made love
You called out his name

So much tension
cause we're living a lie,by and by
whoa oh oh...not to mention
can we give it a try?

The truth's so,so very hard to say (ooh baby)
This pain I feel grows each day
can we find a way?

So much tension
cause we're living a lie,by and by
Whoa oh oh...not to mention
can we give it a try?

You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby
You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby

I don't wanna let you go
No,no,no,no,

You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby
You,Me and He
what we gonna do baby

Great Mtume slow jam. I also like:

I Simply Like
Green Light
Juicy Fruit
Would You Like To Fool Around

Mtume, or "tumes" as he's known at WRKS - KISS FM here in Jersey, does/did the Sunday morning radio show where they talk about the issues concerning the community. Haven't listened to them in a while - the discussions would get pretty heated at times.

I love the stuff he was involved in with Stephanie Mills.

What about their 1984 hit "C.O.D. (I'll Deliver)",which sounded alot like "Juicy Fruit Part 2"?

"Put Your Body In It"

btw, where are they now? haven't heard of them in ages

The group apparently disbanded in the late 80s and the lead singer Tawatha Agee went solo.James Mtume stays pretty busy.Several years ago,I think he was the musical director for the TV show "New York Undercover".

DavidEye said:

thanks! yep, I have one Tawatha solo album, she has an awesome voice

"cherry blossom kiss,what you're giving
makes my body rock,keeps me sizzling
do what you want,I don't care
I'll be your lollipop,you can lick me everywhere"


dontcha just love that lyric?

DavidEye said:

yes

DavidEye said:

And "Prime Time" off that same album. Man.. Prime Time / COD / U Me & He are some CUTS!!!!!

Great Choice!!! Oh how I miss music like this!

what about the album after this 1986's "theatre of the mind"? that 1n had "take me (body & soul)" and breathless

Breathless used to be my cut along with the other jams by Mtume that the other orgers have mentioned.

For some strange reason, it seemed liked Juicy Fruit, Breathless, and C.O.D. had some P instrumentation going on with it.

I used to play the hell out of "Prime Time" from the same album like craaaaazy!

Love that song. Not only is the song good, but the whole album is tops!

I love this song

I also loved "[b]Tie Me Up[b]".

My only beef with Mtume is they DON'T have a compilation yet.

True, but if you buy You Me and He and Juicy Fruit, you got all the Mtume albums you need

RipHer2Shreds said:

Not really, there's also their "In Search Of The Rinbow" import which I'm looking for(that don't cost 36 bucks).

Harlepolis said:

I'll take your word for it. I've not heard anything on In Search of the Rainbow, but those other two are classic.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I did(hear 2 or 3 cuts), and thats why I'm looking for that sucka

I HATE import albums with a gutter passion.

Harlepolis said:

Luv the way Harlepolis wiggles
Wiggle right across the floor.

TTIII HER UP!

I was just listening to this today!

Great track.

'cause we're livin' a liiie...
