I Got You Babe
Cher; Sonny & Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We won't find out until we grow
Well, I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
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
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
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
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
Dear Cher,
The lyrics of your iconic song "I Got You Babe" showcases a beautiful love story that stands the test of time. The opening lyrics, "They say we're young and we don't know. We won't find out until we grow," captures the essence of young love, where two individuals come together without knowing what life has in store for them. The next line, "Well, I don't know if all that's true, 'cause you got me, and baby, I got you," highlights that even though the couple might not know everything about the world, their love for each other is enough to sustain them.
The second verse, "They say our love won't pay the rent. Before it's earned, our money's all been spent," speaks to the financial struggles that young couples often face. However, the lyrics that follow, "But at least I'm sure of all the things we got," speaks volumes about the couple's unwavering love for each other despite the obstacles they face. The chorus, "I got you, babe. I got you, babe," serves as an affirmation of the couple's immense love and support for each other.
The later verses, "Don't let them say your hair's too long. 'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong," and "Then put your little hand in mine, there ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb," continue to emphasize that the couple's love is powerful enough to overcome any hurdles they might face. The final moments of the song, where you and Sonny harmonize and sing, "I got you to love me so," are a true testament to the bond that the two of you had both on and off stage.
