I Got You Lyrics

Committment-phobia! A lot of material Neil Finn wrote between True Colours to the song, "Message to My Girl" (from Conflicting Emotions) pertaining to love matters seem to have that common thread: "If I stop/I could lose my way/But I'm ready for romance..." from "One Step Ahead" is a good example. BTW, "Message..." was a love song Neil wrote to his wife, Sharon Finn--which starts off with: "I don't want to say I love you..." Wonder how his wife thought when she 1st. heard this (grin).

lol, "I don't want to say I love you..." bit different for a love song.

As above, I Got You seems to be about a dysfunctional ? relationship, insecurity, dependence on a partner who is not committed to the writer.

Yes, dark and sad - at odds with the maximally catchy tune!
