Duke Dumont - Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask me what I did with my life
I spent it with you
If I lose my fame and fortune
Really don't matter
As long as I got you, baby

Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you

Ask me what I did with my life
I spent it with you
If I lose my fame and fortune
Really don't matter
As long as I got you, baby

Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you

As the years, they pass us by
We stay on to each other
And no matter ? its OK
As long as I got you, baby

Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
Clap your hands, drop so right
As long as I got you, baby
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
As long as I got you




As long as I got you
As long as I got you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones's song "I Got U" speak about the importance of love and companionship over material possessions and success. The first verse emphasizes the idea that time spent with loved ones is more meaningful than any kind of external achievement. Losing fame and fortune does not matter as long as the singer has the person they love by their side. Furthermore, the refrain emphasizes that the simple act of being with the person they love is enough to make them happy - "As long as I got you, baby."


The chorus is a call to action for the listener to join in and celebrate the love between the singer and their partner. "Clap your hands, drop so right" urges a physical response to the joy that comes from the security of a loving relationship. The repetition of this line throughout the chorus creates a sense of unity and togetherness - as long as everyone has their own special someone, everything will be alright.


The final verse speaks to the longevity of love over time. Even as the years pass, the singer and their partner remain committed to each other. Whatever challenges may arise, as long as they have each other, everything will be okay. The repetition of "As long as I got you" drives this message home and reassures the listener that love is the ultimate source of joy and contentment.


Overall, "I Got U" is a celebratory anthem for the power of love and companionship in our lives.
