I've Got You
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need to think 'cause I just know
That baby it's the way you love me
That makes me so damn sure that your the one
Don't you know that I've waited for you
You are everything I've wanted all my life
Never thought I would find what I need
'Til you came along my dreams seemed so far away
I could be with another girl
And I can take a trip all around the world
But why would I go anywhere when I've got you
I could spend my money on fancy clothes
Meet a thousand women doing videos and shows
But baby I'm so glad that I got you
Maybe I just got lucky
'Cause a chance like this don't come along every day
And can we hold on to what we've got
If I ever lost you girl, my whole life would change
You should know that your life gives me strength
And without you I don't know where I would be
It's because of your soul I'm at ease
No matter where I am I'm not alone. eh
I could be with another girl
And I can take a trip all around the world
But why would I go anywhere when I've got you
I could spend my money on fancy clothes
Meet a thousand women doing videos and shows
But baby I'm so glad that I got you
Maybe I just got lucky
All that I have
Is nothing when it compares to you
And I can't believe
Hoe your love makes me feel
I'm glad that I've got you
And girl you've got me too
I could be with another girl
And I can take a trip all around the world
But why would I go anywhere when I've got you
I could spend my money on fancy clothes
Meet a thousand women doing videos and shows
But baby I'm so glad that I got you
Maybe I just got lucky

He believes that this love has given him strength and allows him to feel at ease no matter where he is.

Yes, his voice and singing is fantastic. However, it is odd how he seems to make his videos around girl who do modelling. He seems to think it´s cool. It is not.

@TexasC8 many opinions about that which is ok. I personally think it very strange, artificial.
