I Got You Babe
Bahamas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My voice cut through the crowd
As if I was anybody that might have something to say
Standing tall I seemed a know it all
But the only thing I know is
That I've never known someone like you
I'm gonna figure out how it is
I got you babe
I held you
And I lost you
Time stood still
And I had my fill
Of all the things we did
And all the things we could have done
Looking back would you
Cut me some slack
For all the times I left you
When I should have stayed right by your side
I'm gonna figure out how it is
I got you
I got you babe
I held you
And I lost you
Bahamas's song "I Got You Babe" is a tune about self-reflection and the realization that the only thing worth knowing is the love and companionship shared with a significant other. The beginning of the song detail the singer's past life where he seemed to come across as someone with all the answers until he met his partner. He acknowledges that he has never known someone like her, and he is going to find out how much she means to him. The lines "I got you, I got you babe, I held you, and I lost you" represent the singer's journey with love. He had it, lost it, tries to come to terms with it, and finally realizes the truth.
In the second paragraph, he reflects on his past actions, and the times he left her side when he should have stayed by her. The singer seems to regret his past actions and hopes for redemption in their relationship. The phrase "Time stood still, and I had my fill" suggests that the relationship was over before he had the chance to appreciate it completely. The song's title reinforces that he feels lucky to have had her and represents his regret for not fully realizing the depths of their connection.
Overall, the song paints a picture of the singer realizing the value of the love he had and regrets his past mistakes that led to its demise. It's a beautiful, heartfelt song that anyone who has loved and lost can relate to.

I sang loud
I sang at a high volume
My voice cut through the crowd
My voice was piercing enough to stand out from the rest of the people around me
As if I was anybody that might have something to say
I sang as if I had an important message to convey
Standing tall I seemed a know it all
Despite being confident, I was perceived as pretentious or arrogant
But the only thing I know is that I've never known someone like you
I admit that the only thing I am certain of is that I have never encountered someone like you before
I'm gonna figure out how it is
I will find out how it feels to be with you
I got you
I have you with me
I got you babe
I am lucky to have you in my life
I held you
I embraced you in my arms
And I lost you
And sadly, at some point, I lost you
Time stood still
I became so engrossed in the moment that time seemed to stop
And I had my fill
I was satisfied with the amount of time we spent together
Of all the things we did
I cherish all the moments we shared
And all the things we could have done
I reflect on all the missed opportunities we had
Looking back would you
If we could turn back time
Cut me some slack
Would you give me some leeway
For all the times I left you
For all the times I walked away from you
When I should have stayed right by your side
When I should have been there for you

the guy dancing on the beach reminds me of a neighbor that died a while back. He was a cool guy. So this video gets extra love.
