Correct way is "between you and me". However, you will note that when this phrase is used on television (films, soaps, etc.) they nearly always say "between you and I" and it makes me cringe that it is never right. Agree with other answers that it is best to check by saying the phrase with just "I" or "me" and you will easily see which is the correct word to use.

You would not say - between you and between I - so the answer is between you and me

Between you and I or between you and me?
According to The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style, "Because the pronouns following between are objects of the preposition, the correct phrase is between you and me. Yet the phrasing between you and I is appallingly common--'a grammatical error of unsurpassable grossness,' as one commentator puts it."

Best way to work it out is what happens if you leave out the "you" bit.
e.g
Between me makes sense, between I doesn't
Me is correct

Between you and I is correct but between you and me you would only need to be so correct in an essay. if were just gossiping over the fence then anything goes...
