‘Believe you me’
Why do you say ‘Believe you me’ not ‘ (You) Believe me’ ? 
Could it be that ‘you’ comes after ‘believe’ when you want to say ‘(You)Believe me’?

'Believe you me' is an archaic or odd way of saying it, but some people do say it like that. It is a command, 'Believe me!/trust me'.

Welcome, Akane. You are right, that's a US specific usage, or an "Americanism" as it used to be called once.

Thank you for the explanation! I watch a drama from the US and this expression came up three times. I was really wondering why they use ‘believe me’ in such way. Now I got it.

That's not a grammatically correct use but a perfectly valid coloquial one. What it means is either "please do believe me" or "you must believe me" or even "you had better believe me". It conveys a stronger need to believe the speaker than just a simple statement.
