I Got You Babe
Sonny Cher Lyrics

They say we're young and we don't know
People say we're inexperienced due to our youth

We won't find out until we grow
Our true knowledge and understanding will come with age

Well, I don't know if all that's true
However, I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate

'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
Because I have you and you have me, we can face anything together

They say our love won't pay the rent
People say that love alone won't provide enough money for our basic needs

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
We haven't even earned any money yet, but it's already all accounted for

I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
I suppose that's true, we don't have a specific plan for the future

But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
However, I'm certain of all the things we do have, which includes each other

I got flowers in the spring
I have flowers during the spring season

I got you to wear my ring
I have you as my partner and we have committed to each other with a ring

And when I'm sad, you're a clown
When I'm feeling down, you cheer me up and make me laugh

And if I get scared, you're always around
If I ever feel scared or uneasy, you're always there to comfort me and make me feel safe

Don't let them say your hair's too long
Don't let other people criticize your appearance, specifically about your hair

'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
I don't mind how you look, because as long as I have you, nothing can go wrong

Then put your little hand in mine
Take my hand in yours, no matter how small it is

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Together, we are capable of overcoming any obstacle or challenge

I got you to hold my hand
I have you to hold my hand and provide support

I got you to understand
I have you to empathize with and comprehend me

I got you to walk with me
I have you to accompany me on life's journey

I got you to talk with me
I have you to communicate with and share my thoughts and feelings

I got you to kiss goodnight
I have you to kiss and show affection to before we go to sleep each night

I got you to hold me tight
I have you to hold me tightly and give me a sense of security

I got you, I won't let go
I have you, and I will never let go of our relationship

I got you to love me so
I have you to love me deeply and unconditionally
