Lyrics
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
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
Oh
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
We're on the outside looking in, a couple of freaks in love
Oh
Writer(s): Bernie Taupin, Elton John
