I Got You Babe
Cher/Sonny Lyrics

They say we're young and we don't know
People claim that our youth and inexperience will prevent us from fully understanding the world

We won't find out until we grow
We won't know the truth until we gain more experience and mature

Well, I don't know if all that's true
I'm not sure if the cynics are correct about us being too young to know true love and success

'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
Because I have you, and you have me, we have each other's support and love to get through life's challenges

They say our love won't pay the rent
People say that our romantic love can't provide for our financial needs

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
We don't have much money yet, but once we do earn it, we'll likely have to spend it all on necessities

I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
We may not have a detailed plan for our future, but we have each other to figure things out together

But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Despite our lack of material wealth, I am confident in the love, companionship, and happiness we share

I got flowers in the spring
I enjoy the beauty and renewal that comes with the changing seasons

I got you to wear my ring
I have someone I love and who loves me back, as evidenced by the commitment of our relationship

And when I'm sad, you're a clown
You are able to make me laugh and feel better even when I'm feeling down

And if I get scared, you're always around
Your presence and support provide me with a sense of safety and comfort when I feel afraid

Don't let them say your hair's too long
Ignore the criticisms and judgments of others who may disapprove of our unconventional choices, such as having long hair

'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
I am confident in our love and partnership and feel that, no matter what, we will make it work

Then put your little hand in mine
Take my hand and let us continue navigating life together

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
We are capable and strong enough to overcome any obstacle or challenge that comes our way

I got you to hold my hand
You provide me with physical and emotional support and companionship

I got you to understand
You are able to empathize and comprehend my thoughts, feelings, and needs

I got you to walk with me
You are my partner in life, and we will continue to share experiences and journeys together

I got you to talk with me
You are a trusted and valued conversationalist, and we can discuss anything that's on our minds

I got you to kiss goodnight
Our love and physical intimacy provide us with comfort, pleasure, and emotional connection

I got you to hold me tight
You are able to provide me with physical and emotional security and warmth

I got you, I won't let go
I am committed to our relationship and will never abandon or betray you

I got you to love me so
I am grateful and fortunate to have your love and affection in my life
