I Got You โ—‘
Honne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress

You might be rough around the edges
But them edges look good
I got a lot of time for you baby (ye-ye-ye-yeah)
You got a fist full of problems
But just as any man should
I'll take some of your load off (ye-ye-ye-yeah)

I don't need them drugs ('cause I'm hooked on you)
I don't need no air ('cause I wanna breathe you)
'Cause even if I'm full I'd still have room to make this work
We can make it work

I got, I got, I got you
You got, you got, you got me
We've got each other and each other's all we need
I got, I got, I got you
You got, you got, you got me
We've got each other and each other's all we need

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress (no stress)
We don't need no stress

You might not show me how you're feeling
But you make me feel good
I got a lot of love for you baby (ye-ye-ye-yeah)
I just seem to understand you
When you're so misunderstood
We are on the same wave

I don't need them drugs ('cause I'm hooked on you)
I don't need no air ('cause I wanna breathe you)
'Cause even if I'm full I'd still have room to make this work
We can make it work

I got, I got, I got you
You got, you got, you got me
We've got each other and each other's all we need

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress (no stress)
We don't need no stress

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress (no stress)
We don't need no stress

(We need to get away)
I got, I got, I got you
(We need to get away)
You got, you got, you got me
(We need to get away-ay)
I got, I got, I got you
(We need to)
We've got each other and each other's all we need

We need to get away
We don't need no stress
We don't need no stress (no stress)
We don't need no stress

We need to get away
We don't need no stress




We don't need no stress (no stress)
We don't need no stress (we need to get away)
