Originally done by Sonny and Cher
HER:
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
HIM:
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
BOTH:
Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe
HER:
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
HIM:
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
BOTH:
Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe
HIM:
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
HER:
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
HIM:
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
BOTH:
Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe
HIM: I got you to hold my hand
HER: I got you to understand
HIM: I got you to walk with me
HER: I got you to talk with me
HIM: I got you to kiss goodnight
HER: I got you to hold me tight
HIM: I got you, I won't let go
HER: I got you to love me so
BOTH:
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got you babe
