I Got You
Ciara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hush little baby don't you cry
Momma's gonna love you all your life
And if you ever need a friend
Momma's right there till the very end
And if you're feeling down or weak
Momma's gonna give you all the strength you need
There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do
For my little Future 'cause I love you

It all can get so out of control sometimes
You can lose your faith, you can lose your mind
Lose your grip, get stripped of your pride
Till you don't know how you're gonna stay alive
And this world can throw you over the track sometimes
Your friends can stab you in the back
Sometimes you just break down
When this life tries to wreck you, I protect you yeah

I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you
I'll crawl over broken glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you

It all can push you over the edge sometimes
Make you wanna jump off the ledge sometimes
Make you wanna stand up and scream
Make you feel like there is no one listening
This world can put a hole in your soul sometimes
Put you at the end of your road
Sometimes you just break down
When this world tries to end you, I defend you yeah

I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you
I'll crawl over broken glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you

I'll be there to stop the bleeding
I'll be there to start the healing
I will give you what you're needing
I'll be right there

I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you yeah
I'll crawl over broken glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you

I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you
I'll crawl over broken glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you




Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you

This is so sweet and touching. You can tell Ciara loves being a mother. Her son is just adorable. I'm still amazed how Ciara was able to push that big baby out and still managed to snap back.

I said the same thing. It's incredible

Joshua McDowell she loves being a mother her interview with this one station all she talked about was her son and mother hood for 15 straight minutes

Antoine Neyland

Joshua McDowell Baby Future is big, but he's not as big as it seems. Sure 9lb 10oz is big for a baby, but I've seen babies even bigger. Your right Ciara enjoys being a mother so much that she talks about him, in every up to date interview.

Joshua McDowell

Antoine Neyland Funny. That was how much I weighed when I was born. 

Joshua McDowell

MyAmysBad That was not rude. Snap back, bounce back, it's all the same.

Ciara is one of the sweetest, realest, humblest, kind-hearted celebrities out there with so much talent. She truly has a virtue and her mouth is "the law of kindness". A great woman is an understatement.
