Lyrics

I Got You Babe

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

People say that we don't know

What love is or how to make it grow

Well, I don't know if all that's true

'Cause you got me and baby, I got you

Oh, baby, I got you, babe, I got you, babe

Say, our love won't pay the rent

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent

I guess that's true, we don't have a lot

But at least I'm sure of all the things we've got

Oh, baby, I got you, babe, I got you, babe

I got flowers in the spring, yeah

I've got you, I've got you to wear my ring

And when I'm sad, you're a clown

And when I get scared, you're always around

Let them say we are wrong

I don't care, with you I can't go wrong

But with our love like your's and mine

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Oh, babe, I got you, babe, I got you, babe

I got you to hold my hand

I got you to understand

I got you to walk with me

And I got you to talk with me

I got you to kiss goodnight

I got you, hold me tight

I got you, I won't let go

I got you to love me so

Oh, baby, I got you, babe, I got you, babe

You got me, babe, I got you

Babe, I got you, babe
