I Got You
Chris Cayzer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I neve danced with a gorgeous ballerina
Or been on a date with a spicy cheerleader
I never looked at the stars with the girl next door
Or had a pen pal to write to
And met across the shores
I can't dwell on the past
I don't know how long these feelings will last
Chorus
But then there's you...
I got you... I got you...
I've never been a captain of any sporting team
Never been an academic or listed by the dean
Never had the girls look twice my way
But when she noticed I never knew what to say
I can't dwell on th past, no... no...
I don't know how long these feelings will last

[Repeat chorus]

I can't believe you're here with me
Oh all those nights when you were just a dream
Let me touch you just to know you're real
I'll breathe you in and I'll begin to live
But then there's you
Oh I got you




I got you... you... you...
I got you
