Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Grease's song I Got You portray a sense of loss and sadness. The singer laments the fact that they no longer have the person they love and that they are left with nothing. The opening lines "I don't have plans and schemes, And I don't have hopes and dreams, I don't have anything, Since I don't have you" emphasizes the emptiness and lack of direction that the singer feels without the person they love.


The singer further expresses their desperation by saying "And I don't have fond desires, And I don't have happy hours, No, I don't have anything, Since I don't have you." They are unable to find joy or happiness in anything because their heart is broken.


The chorus, "And I don't have love to share, And I don't have one who cares, I don't have anything, Since I don't have you," reinforces the idea that the singer has lost everything after their loved one left. The line "In walked the misery and he's been here since then" is particularly evocative, describing how the misery of losing the person they loved had become a constant presence in the singer's life.


In summary, I Got You is a poignant and emotional exploration of what it means to lose someone you love, and how it can affect your sense of identity and purpose in the world.
