I Got You
Nat Stuckey & Connie Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they don't even see us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't care
'Cause honey I've got you and you've got me
And baby that's all we will ever need
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
Well there's people all around us with their noses in the air
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't care
'Cause I've got you and you've got me and baby that's all we will ever need
The lyrics to Nat Stuckey & Connie Smith's song "I Got You" portray a sense of contentment and happiness in a relationship despite being overlooked by society. The first verse highlights the couple's lack of attention from people on the street and the second verse shows them looking at items they cannot afford in a diamond store, with others looking down on them. However, despite all of this, the couple is happy because they have each other. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, stating that they don't need anything else as long as they have each other.
The lyrics of this song show a deep appreciation for the simplicity and importance of love, and how it can be the most important thing in one's life. Despite society's norms and expectations, the couple is happily content with each other, proving that true love and happiness stems from the connection between two people rather than materialistic desires. The song showcases the idea of "love wins over all" and reiterates that everything else in life is secondary to having that special someone by your side.

Don't get no attention from the people on the street
We don't get any attention from the people walking on the street
But they don't even see us they just step right on our feet
The people don't even see us, they just walk right over us
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
We are just two people who go unnoticed in this big world
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be
When I think about it, I realize that's all we'll ever be
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't care
But I have you and you have me, and if they look closely, they'll see that we don't care
'Cause honey I've got you and you've got me
Because honey, I have you and you have me
And baby that's all we will ever need
And that's all we will ever need
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
We are looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford

Well there's people all around us with their noses in the air
There are people all around us with their noses in the air
