Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

got you and it's all I need [Repeat: x3]
I got you
I got you and I still believe
That you're all that I'll ever need
It's you

All
All the way back in the seventies
You were my little t.v. queen
Y'er tarzan and friend Janine
I got you
I got you and I still believe
That you're all that I'll ever need
It's you

All
It's the end of the century
I can't think of anything
Except you
It's the end of the century
And I can't think of anything
But you, all, all, I, need

I got you




I got you, babe
I got you [Repeat: x4]
