Williams’s version includes additional lyrics pertaining to circus: “Life can be circus/They underpay and overwork us/Though we seldom get our due/And when each day is through/I bring my tired body home/And look around for you.” Instead, she interpreted it as a mother singing to a child, which her version clarified by her young daughter Traci's speaking to "Mommy" at the start and end. Helen Reddy considered the lyrics too "paternalistic" to be convincing as a woman's declaration of love for a man. Williams himself debuted "You and Me Against the World" on his 1974 album Here Comes Inspiration, singing it as a traditional love ballad. The song is sentimental in its lyrics, discussing "all the times we cried" and "when one of us is gone and one is left to carry on." Williams and Ascher had a discussion about their favorite songwriters which led to the spontaneous composition on the subject whose tune, Ascher then realized, had real hit potential. "You and Me Against the World" was the first written by Williams teaming up with Ascher, a member of his band. " You and Me Against the World" is a song written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams, recorded by Helen Reddy for her 1974 album Love Song for Jeffrey. 1974 single by Helen Reddy "You and Me Against the World"
