You Got Me
Freeway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get shy around you
Don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
'Cause you do something to me
That I can't describe baby

Always catch myself thinkin' 'bout
The things you do
There ain't no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me, baby it's true

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Day dreamin' 'bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby

Boy I'm entangled up in you
These feelings I just can't elude
'Cause you're so captivating
That I inadvertently

Always catch myself thinkin' 'bout
The things you do
There ain't no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me, baby it's true

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Day dreamin' 'bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby

Said I'm insecure when I'm around you
Don't know what to say or do
Catching feelings boy, in spite of myself
I can't think of nobody else sugar
You're the star of all my dreams
I just want to be your everything
Boy you know you really got me
Baby yeah

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Day dreamin' 'bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin' 'bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby

Said I'm insecure when I'm around you
Don't know what to say or do
Catching feelings boy, in spite of myself
I can't think of nobody else sugar
You're the star of all my dreams
I just want to be your everything




Boy you know you really got me

Overall Meaning

The song "You Got Me" is a collaboration between American rappers Freeway and Jay-Z along with American singer Mariah Carey. The song is about being in love with someone and feeling intoxicated and elated whenever they're around. The lyrics suggest that the person being sung to has a certain power over the singer that he or she simply can't deny. The singer is infatuated with the person and can't help but daydream, feel shy and insecure around them.


Freeway kicks off the song with the lines, "I get shy around you, don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, 'Cause you do something to me, that I can't describe baby". These lines establish the mood of the song as one of overwhelming emotion and infatuation. Mariah Carey comes in on the chorus, singing "You know you got me, so in love, you know you got me, daydreaming 'bout us," showing just how smitten the singer is with this person.


The second verse finds Freeway admitting his insecurity around this person, saying he doesn't know what to say or do around them. He sings about catching feelings despite himself and being unable to think of anyone else. The singer's hopelessly in love and just wants to be near this person as much as possible, which is the overall message of the song.
