Lyrics
They say we’re young and we don’t know
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
At least I’m sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I’ve got flowers in the spring
I’ve got you to wear my ring
And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And when I get scared, you’re always around
So let them say your hair’s too long
I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong
And 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
