I Got You
Gill Johnny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a melody that never goes away
You're the sweetest thing, an easy song to sing
Your like a work of art, so priceless to me
A timeless beauty from the movie screen, that never ever seems to fade

So baby put that glass down and turn the music up
It's like these words was written just for the two of us
Do you remember that day in September
When we fell in love

This one's for me and you
So let the record play
I love the way, it makes your body move
It sounds so good to me, reminds me of you
And when the record plays a melody, love fills up the room
It sounds so good to me, this one's for me and you

Girl we came so far, and beat out all the odds
They never thought we'd make it, but I knew it from the start
So let's celebrate
'Cause we got it good
A classic going down in history, feels just like we won the lottery

So baby put that glass down and turn music up
It's like these words was written just for the two of us
Do you remember that day in September
When we fell in love

This one's for me and you
So let the record play
I love the way, it makes your body move
It sound so good to me, reminds me of you
And when the record plays a melody, love fills up the room
It sounds so good to me this one's for me and you

Let it play, let it play, let it play
This one's for my baby
Let it play, let it play, let it play
This one's for me and you
Let it play, let it play, let it play
Just for me and you girl
Let it play, let it play, let it play
Yeah, oh

So baby put that glass down and turn music up
It's like these words was written just for the two of us
Do you remember that day in September
Baby, when we fell, when we fell in love
This one's for me and you

So let the record play
I love the way, it makes your body move
It sounds so good to me, reminds me of you
And when record plays a melody, love fills up the room
It sounds so good to me this one's for me and you

Let it play, let it play, let it play
Hey, we're gonna sit back down, yes we are, with a glass of wine

Let it play, let it play, let it play
For my baby, for my girl
This one's for you

Let it play, let it play, let it play
For my baby, for my girl
This one's for you

Let it play, let it play, let it play




For my baby, for my girl
This one's for you
