She's Got You
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you gave to me
And it's signed with love
Just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture
She's got you
I've got the records
That we used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records
She's got you
I've got your memory I really don't know but I know
It won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
I've got your memory
Or has it got me?
I really don't know but I know
It won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
I've got these little things
She's got you
The lyrics to LeAnn Rimes' classic country ballad, She's Got You, speak about a heartbroken person's struggle to move on after a relationship has ended. The singer has kept some souvenir items, such as a signed photograph, records, and a class ring, which remind her of her lost love. Despite having these little things from the past, the singer realizes that her former lover now belongs to someone else, as the lyrics imply, "I've got your picture, she's got you." She laments that his memory still haunts her, questioning, "I've got your memory, or has it got me?" In the end, she accepts that although she may keep some remnants of what once was, the past is gone, and she will have to learn how to live without him, as he has moved on with someone else.

on I Need You
I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da), ooh
Ooh
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again, oh yeah
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Ooh, yes I do, oh
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, yes I do (dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
Ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
I need you, oh (dada, dada, da)
(Dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
