I Got You
Colleen Fitzpatrick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got you, and that's all I want
I won't forget, and that's a whole lot
I don't go out, now that you're in
Sometimes we shout, that's no problem

1:
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that i'm not lyin'

Look at you, you're a pageant
You're everything, that I've imagined
Something's wrong, I feel uneasy
You show me, tell me you're not teasing

Repeat 1

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'

There's no doubt, that when I'm with you
When I'm without, I stay in my room
Where do you go, but get no answers
You're always out, it gets on my nerves

Repeat 1

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'

Repeat 1

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'
