I Got You Babe (Sonny & Cher cover) Lyrics

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Babe
I got you babe I got you babe

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

Babe
I got you babe I got you babe

I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
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

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
Igot 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

I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

They say we're young and we don't know 
We won't find out until we grow 
Well I don't know if all that's true 
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Babe 
I got you babe I got you babe

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

Babe 
I got you babe I got you babe

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

[HIM:] Babe

I got you to walk with me

Igot 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

I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
