You Got The Love
Little Mix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby
I hear your name and it's like I'm breaking, aching
You still got that power hanging over me
It's always over but still happening
Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby

I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks
Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me
Baby I love you

Uh oh, uh oh, don't know how I'm still breathing, breathing
I got this hole up in my heart baby, baby
And it doesn't matter what no one say
Even though it's broken, I love you anyway
Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby, my baby

I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks
Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me
I just wanna know how I can save me
Even if these three words choke and take me
Baby I love you

I feel your touch when I'm alone at night, oh oh
But it's just me who's holding tight
And this life don't feel like you
There's nothing left but these I love you's

And I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks
Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me
I just wanna know how I can save me
Even if these three words choke and take me
Baby I love you, oh, oh, oh, oh

I love you
Baby I love you, oh, oh, oh, oh




I love you
Baby I love you
