[Commercial Version]
People say that we don’t know
What love is or how to make it grow
Well I don’t know if all that’s true
Cause you got me and baby I got you
Oh baby I got you babe
I got you babe
Say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earned our money’s all been spent
Oh baby I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
[Full Soulful Lyrics]
I got flowers in the spring yeah
I’ve got you 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
Let them say we are wrong
I don’t care with you I can’t go wrong
But with our love like your’s and mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
And I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you hold me tight
I got you I won’t let go
I got you to love me so
