I Got You (At the End of the Century)

Wilco · Being There [1996]

I got you and that's all I need

I got you and that's all I need

I got you and that's all I need

I got you and I still believe

That you're all that I ever need

It's you

All

All way back in the seventies

You were my little T.V. queen

Y'er tarzan and friend Janine

I got you

I got you and I still believe

That you're all that I'll ever need

It's you

All

It's the end of the century

I can't think of anything

Except you

It's the end of the century

And I can't think of anything

But you, all, all, I, need

I got you

I got you, babe

I got you

I got you

I got you

I got you
