Lyrics[]
[Lana Del Rey & Barrie James O'Neill]:
They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out until we grow
Well, I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
Oh, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
Well I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Oh, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe
[Barrie James O'Neill & Lana Del Rey]:
I got flowers in the spring and I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared, you're always around
So, let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
So, put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Oh, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe
