I Got You
Jodie Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's no tomorrow,
If there ain't no day
No waking sunrise,
No sunset at the end of the day
Well I don't mind
No, I don't mind
'Cause one thing is fine
If I was made homeless
Livin' on the street
Busking for money
For the rest of the week
Well I don't mind
No, I don't mind
'Cause one thing is fine

'Cause I got you
To have and to hold
Yeah I got you
Deep down in my soul
No matter where you are
When I come on home
I got you

If there was a battle
If there was a war
Standing in the center
Not handle weapons at all
Well I don't mind
No, I don't mind
'Cause one thing is fine

'Cause I got you
To have and to hold
Yeah I got you
Deep down in my soul
No matter where you are
When I come on home
I got you

I got you
To have and to hold
Yeah I got you
Deep down in my soul
No matter where you are
When I come on home
I got you

In any situation
I got you
In any complication
Yeah I got you
No contemplation

[Repeat: x2]
I got you
To have and to hold
Yeah I got you
Deep down in my soul
No matter where you are
When I come on home
I got you

No matter where you are
Near or far
I got you

No matter where you are




When I come on home
I got you
