I Got You

[Intro]

Wanna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, come on, take me by the hand

(By the hand, by the hand, by the hand)

[Verse 1]

Hey, did you hear about the one that got away?

They say he looked left, she turned right

Meant to be together, but not that night

It's when fate's running late, we tend to make mistakes

We go 'round and 'round from love to love

It's either way too much or not enough

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Give me lazy days with nothing better to do

Than singing, old black water, keep on rolling while I wait for you

[Chorus 1]

I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine

I'm leaving the ghosts behind until

I got you, I got you

You're the sun through my window, warming my skin

Oh, you, I got you, hey

[Verse 2]

Then when one of them was taken, the other one was waiting

For the next big thing to bring them to the gates of heaven

Or maybe just a late night in Vegas

It's true that's what we do when we're going down swinging

Then coming up singing the blues

Wearing out my shoes

Chasing new faces to get to you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Driving home on a summer night

Singing, old black water, keep on rolling 'til the time is right

[Chorus 2]

I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine

Sit back, enjoy the ride until

I got you, I got you

You're the sun through my window, warming my skin

Oh, you, I got you

Like Sonny and Cher, except I'll be there for you

I got you, let old black water bring us together

[Bridge]

Old black water, keep on rolling

Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

Old black water, keep on rolling

Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

Wanna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand

Wanna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, here she comes

[Chorus 2]

I got you, I got you

You're the sun through my window, warming my skin

Oh, you, I got you

Like Sonny and Cher, you know I'll be there for you

I got you, let old black water bring us together

You, I got you, I got you, I got you, baby

[Outro]

By the hip, hip, take me by the hip

Pretty mama, dance with your daddy all night long

Wanna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand

By the hip, hip, take me by the hip

Pretty mama, dance with your daddy all night long

Wannna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand

By the hip, hip, take me by the hip

Pretty mama, dance with your daddy all night long

Wanna hear some funky Dixieland?

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand
