That's what they do
They don't have lives
Like me and you
Let people talk
That's what they have
But you and me got something else

And people may say
Whatever they do
Me, I, couldnt' care less I
Couse I got you

And nothing's gonna bring me down

The lyrics to Ola Salo's "I Got You" are about the power of love and the resilience it can give in the face of criticism from others. Salo encourages listeners to ignore the negative talk of others, recognizing that they likely don't have fulfilling lives of their own. Instead, he focuses on the love he has with his partner, noting that their bond is something special and worth protecting, despite the judgments of others.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics, with Salo saying "People may say whatever they do" multiple times, emphasizes the idea that these criticisms are unimportant in light of the love he shares with his partner. This sentiment is also reflected in the chorus, where he asserts that nothing can bring him down because he has his partner by his side.
Overall, "I Got You" is a simple but powerful anthem for those in love, encouraging listeners to ignore the naysayers and focus on the strength of their own relationships.
