I Got You Babe
Sonny Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We won't find out until we grow
Well, I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe

Its cute to think Cher never wanted to perform without Sonny due to her shy nature. He made her open up to the legend she is today.

So me and my family (mom and dad) were on a roadtrip and on the road my dad put this song on. My dad looked at my mom and started singing and my mom started to sing too. They were singing together, to each other, like kids and I watched. Their love looked so pure, so undeniable. I sat there in the backseat and I just watched. Its one of my favorite memories of them.
