You Got The Love
The Source Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then I feel like life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through

When food is gone
You are my daily meal, mhm
When friends are gone
I know my savior's love is real
Your love is real

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Ooh
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Oh, it gets so rough sometimes
Oh, the going gets so hard
But I know

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Ooh

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you (I know, I know)
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

All I can do sometimes to keep it together
But I know you've got it
You've got the love

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you




Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
