I Got You Babe
Cher and Beavis and Butthead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say we're young and we don't know
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

Overall Meaning

The song "I Got You Babe" is a duet between Cher and Sonny Bono released in the 1960s. The song is about a couple who believes they don't need worldly possessions or money to be happy because they have each other. The first stanza of the song talks about how people tell young couples that they don't know about love or life, but the couple doesn't believe that as they have each other. Then, the chorus' main theme is that they've got each other, always supporting each other, loving each other, and understanding each other.

The second stanza talks about how money can't buy happiness and it's not worth worrying about. They don't have a lot of money, but they have each other, and that's enough for them. The lyrics then highlight all the things that they possess in their partnership like flowers in spring, trust, loyalty, and love. They express that they will overcome any obstacle together as they stand the test of time.

The third and final stanza talks about the singer's devotion and love towards their partner. They highlight that their partner's appearance doesn't matter to them because they love them for who they are. The singer then offers a comforting hand inciting that both of them will always be together no matter the complication. As the song comes to an end, they reiterate that they have each other and will continue to love each other.

Line by Line Meaning

They say we're young and we don't know
People say that we are young and inexperienced

We won't find out until we grow
We won't know the answers until we get older

Well, I don't know if all that's true
I'm not sure if what they say is accurate

'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
But what I do know is that I have you, and you have me

They say our love won't pay the rent
People say that love won't provide a home

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
We don't have any money yet, and people say it will be gone quickly

I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
I suppose they are right that we don't have any money saved up

But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
But what I am certain of is all the things we do have

I got flowers in the spring
I have flowers in the springtime

I got you to wear my ring
I have you to show that we are together

And when I'm sad, you're a clown
When I am sad, you cheer me up

And if I get scared, you're always around
If I ever get scared, you're always there with me

Don't let them say your hair's too long
Don't pay attention to people who say your hair is too long

'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
I don't care what anyone else thinks, because with you, nothing can go wrong

Then put your little hand in mine
Let's hold hands

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
There's nothing we can't overcome if we work together

I got you to hold my hand
I have you to hold my hand

I got you to understand
I have you to understand me

I got you to walk with me
I have you to walk beside me

I got you to talk with me
I have you to talk with me

I got you to kiss goodnight
I have you to give me a goodnight kiss

I got you to hold me tight
I have you to hold me close

I got you, I won't let go
I have you and I won't let go

I got you to love me so
I have you to love me deeply

I got you, babe
I have you, my love
