Lyrics

They say we're young and we don't know

Expressing the perception that they are young and lack experience.

Won't find out till we grow

Acknowledging that understanding love may come with age and experience.

Well I don't know why that's true

Expressing uncertainty about the conventional wisdom regarding love and age.

'Cause you got me baby, I got you

Affirming a strong emotional connection, mutual reliance, and commitment in the relationship.


Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe

Reiterating the affirmation of mutual commitment and love.


They say our love won't pay the rent

Addressing the skepticism that love alone may not be sufficient to meet practical needs like paying rent.

Before it's earned our money's always spent

Highlighting the financial challenges faced by the couple before their love is financially rewarding.

I guess that's so, we don't have a lot

Admitting the scarcity of material wealth but emphasizing the value of their emotional connection.

But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Expressing certainty and gratitude for the intangible qualities and experiences shared in the relationship.


Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe

Reaffirming the strength and certainty of their love.


I got flowers in the spring

I got you, to wear my ring

Symbolizing commitment through the exchange of rings.

And when I'm sad, you're a clown

Describing the partner's role in bringing happiness and laughter during sad times.

And if I get scared you're always around

Highlighting the partner's supportive presence during moments of fear.

So let they say your hair's too long

Rejecting societal norms and expressing acceptance of the partner's individuality.

I don't care, with you I can't go wrong

Affirming the partner's importance despite societal judgments.

Then put your warm little hand in mine

Symbolizing unity and support by holding hands.

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges together.


Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe, I got you babe

Repeating the declaration of love and commitment.


I got you to hold my hand

Emphasizing the importance of the partner in providing comfort and assurance.

I got you to understand

Acknowledging the partner's understanding and emotional support.

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
