I Got You
Connie Smith · Young Love [RCA Victor] [1969]
(Ricci Mareno - Gordon Galbraith)
Don't get no attention from the people on the street
But they don't even see us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be.
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see
That we don't care
Cause honey I've got you and you've got me
And baby that's all we will ever need.
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
Well there's people all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we're not even there.
But I got you and you got me and if they look
They can see that we don't care
'Cause I've got you and you've got me
And baby that's all we will ever need...
Don't get no attention from the people on the street
But they don't even see us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it yes that's all we'll ever be.
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see
That we don't care
Cause honey I've got you and you've got me
And baby that's all we will ever need.
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
Well there's people all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we're not even there.
But I got you and you got me and if they look
They can see that we don't care
'Cause I've got you and you've got me
And baby that's all we will ever need...
