Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Sometimes, I feel like expressing frustration or giving up.
I know I can count on you
I trust and rely on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
Sometimes, I feel indifferent and uncaring, but...
But you've got the love I need to see me through
...you possess the love I require to endure.
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
At times, the challenges seem overwhelmingly difficult.
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Things go awry despite my efforts.
Now and then I feel like life is just too much
Occasionally, life feels too burdensome.
But you've got the love I need to see me through
Yet, you possess the love necessary for me to persevere.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Similar sentiment to line 1, expressing frustration.
I know I can count on you
I have confidence in your support.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
Again, feeling apathetic, but...
But you've got the love I need to see me through
...your love is essential for my sustenance.
Time after time I say, "Oh Lord, what's the use"
Repetition of feeling futile or hopeless.
Time after time I say, "This just won't do"
Expressing dissatisfaction or frustration with the situation.
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose
Recognizing that in life, you sometimes lose things you cherish.
Just like before I know I call on you
Despite this loss, I know I can rely on you.
Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few
Feeling courageous but lacking companionship.
Occasionally I cry out, "Lord, what must I do"
Expressing distress and seeking guidance.
Occasionally I call up, "Master, make me new"
Asking for a renewal or transformation.
You've got the love to see me through
Your love is the strength I need for renewal.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Reiterating feelings of frustration or surrender.
I know I can count on you
Reaffirming trust and reliance in you.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
Expressing indifference again, but...
But you've got the love I need to see me through
...your love is the support I require.
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
Repetition emphasizing the possession of love needed for endurance and support.
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
-You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, I got the love)
-You (I got the love, I got the love, I got the love, got the love)
-(I got the love) need to see me through
-(I got the love) see me through
Continuation of expressing reliance on this love.
(I got the love) see me through
-You got the love (Got the love) I need to see me through
Reiteration of dependence on the supportive love.
(I got the love) see me through
-(I got the love) see me through
-You've got the love, you've got the love
Repeated acknowledgment and affirmation of the presence of this crucial love.
You've got the love
-You've got the love, you've got the love
-You've got the love, mm hmm
