I Got You
Billy Walker · Portrait of Billy [1969]
Don't get no attention from the people on the street
They don't even see us they just step right on our feet
Just two little people in this great big world are we
When I think about it guess 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
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need.
All the world around us hasn't time to know we're here
We don't feel neglected no we'll never shed a tear
We make all unnoticed but we'll never be alone
Long as we're together in the world that's all our own.
'Cause I got you and you got me and if they look
They can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need.
I got you and you got me and if they look
They can see that we don't care
I got you and you got me
And baby, that's all we will ever need...
