I Got You
Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo
Trust you, believe you
There's nobody for you but me (well)
You tell me daily
But I know not to believe (well)
Late night phone calls
When you thought that I was asleep
It's clever that you'd think you'd be (well)
Baby I know everything like (uh)
Even what you're thinking, ooh~
How the hell did she fright'n me out?
Very simple
Chorus:
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I can stand and watch you
I got all that I need
Baby boy must believe
When I say I got you
'Cause I ain't never been a fool
So notice one thing is true
Said I got you
You say you work late
Baby in reality (well)
It's Stacey, cute girl, and it's been 'nough for about two weeks
You don't know it
Stacey's part of my crew
Has a test up put her on you
Just to see what you would do
Hook like a single
You took the bait just like I thought you would
Very simple
Repeat chorus
You've been set up
You should get up and go get your thing
I'm fed up, so get up
Go get your thing, ooh~
You've been set up
You should get up and go get your thing
Ooh~ Go get your thing (2x)
'Cause I ain't never been a fool
So notice one thing is true
Said notice one thing is true
Said I got you
Repeat chorus
I Got You
Ne-Yo's "I Got You" stands as a defining track from his early solo career, showcasing his signature blend of R&B and pop sensibilities. Released during a period where he was establishing himself as a vocalist with a distinct, melodic voice, the song exemplifies the smooth, romantic aesthetic that became his hallmark. While often associated with his debut album "In My Own Words," the track highlights his ability to craft intimate ballads that resonate with listeners seeking emotional connection. The recording captures the polished production typical of late 2000s contemporary R&B, featuring layered harmonies and a rhythmic groove that underscores the song's theme of unwavering support. It remains a staple in his discography, reflecting the era's shift toward more vocal-centric pop-R&B productions and cementing his reputation as a skilled interpreter of love songs.
