I GOT YOU BABE

Sonny & Cher

written by Sonny Bono



(Number 1 on Billboard chart for 3 weeks, August 1965)



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

We won't find out until we grow

HIM: Well I don't know if all that's true

'Cause you got me, and baby I got you



HIM: Babe

BOTH: I got you babe

I got you babe



HER: They say our love won't pay the rent

Before it's earned, our money's all been spent

HIM: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot

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



HIM: Babe

BOTH: I got you babe

I got you babe



HIM: I got flowers in the spring

I got you to wear my ring

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

And if I get scared, you're always around



HER: Don't let them say your hair's too long

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

HIM: Then put your little hand in mine

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



HIM: Babe

BOTH: I got you babe

I got you babe



HIM: I got you to hold my hand

HER: I got you to understand

HIM: I got you to walk with me

HER: 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



BOTH: I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe
