I Got You Babe Lyrics:
[CHER:] They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[SONNY:] Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

[SONNY:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe, I got you babe

[CHER:] They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[SONNY:] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

[SONNY:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe, I got you babe

[SONNY:] I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring
[CHER:] And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
[CHER:] So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
[SONNY:] Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

[SONNY:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe, I got you babe

[SONNY:] I got you to hold my hand
[CHER:] I got you to understand
[SONNY:] I got you to walk with me
[CHER:] I got you to talk with me
[SONNY:] I got you to kiss goodnight
[CHER:] I got you to hold me tight
[SONNY:] I got you, I won't let go
[CHER:] I got you to love me so

[BOTH:] I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
