I Got You
Lover! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girls like you try to take up my time
But I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
I guess we're just different breeds
I guess we got different jeans
but guess what it don't mean a thing yeah
We never get along
We're cut from different cloth
So imma cut this off
And Imma go get lost
Out of my league must be out of your mind
Girls like you try to take up my time
But I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
Out of my league must be out of your mind
Girls like you try to take up my time
But I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
I'm as cool as a hundred degrees
Shut up girl don't say a thing
I used to be chasing used to be wasted
Don't give a fuck what you think
Out of your league out of your mind
Girls like you try to take my time
Girls like you try to kill my vibe
Now girl like you try to hit my line
Girls like you better wish they knew better
Girls like you never really been too clever
That's the thing cuz guys like me
We tend to keep a nasty vendetta
Out of my league must be out of your mind
Girls like you try to take up my time
But I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
Out of my league must be out of your mind
Girls like you try to take up my time
I feel great and I'm good on my own
It's okay baby go head and go
Go head and go
In "I Got You," Lover! is expressing that he feels as though he's out of the league of the girl that's trying to pursue him. He feels like they're different types of people with different interests and values. The girl seems to be trying to take up his time and energy, but he's perfectly content being on his own. He's not interested in having a relationship with her and doesn't want to waste his time pretending that they're compatible. Lover! uses a lot of different metaphors to express his feelings, pointing out that their differences go down to the genetic level.
Throughout the song, he contrasts himself with the girl he's addressing, saying that he feels great and is good on his own, while she seems to be getting in his way. Lover! seems to think that (at least some) girls don't know what they want, and he implies that this girl in particular is not very clever. He makes it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with her and that he's moved on.
Overall, "I Got You" is a song about knowing your worth, and not settling for someone who isn't the right fit for you. It's about having the confidence to say "no" to someone who may seem attractive on the surface, but isn't compatible with you in the long term. Lover! is telling his listeners - especially young people - that it's important to realize that you don't have to be with someone just because they're interested in you. You deserve to be with someone who shares your values and interests, and who respects you for who you are.

It's OK to cry, scream shout out. Release the hurt pain frustration etc. Then you will be empty of the negativity so God can fill you up with his Love and healing and prosperity. You are worth it, God has you in the palm of your hand and he and Jesus are never letting you go. Blessings to you.

There is no one like Danny Gokey. His words are so powerful for God, from God. Letting the loneliest sinner know they have some where to go.
