I Got You Babe
UB 40 Chrissie Hynde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't find out till we grow
Well I don't know why that's true
'Cause you got me baby, I got you
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.
They say our love won't pay the rent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
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
So let they say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your warm 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 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
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
The song I Got You Babe by UB40 and Chrissie Hynde is a sweet and romantic tune that reflects the defiance and optimism of young love. The lyrics suggest that the couple is being told that they are too young to know what love is, but they know that they have each other and that's all that matters. They are willing to face the challenges of life together, and nothing can hold them back or break them apart.
The first verse indicates the skepticism of the older generation about the relationship, but the couple remains confident, and the chorus explains that the love they share is all they need to get through life. The second verse addresses the financial struggles that they are facing; they might not have much, but they have each other. The third verse highlights the little things that make their relationship special and unique. They have each other to hold hands, walk with, talk with, and kiss goodnight. They understand each other and are willing to support each other through thick and thin.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the power and resilience of young love. The couple might not have everything figured out, but they are committed to each other and are willing to take on the world together. The song captures the essence of what love should be - simple, pure, and unbreakable.
