Struggling with I Got You? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Back when all my little goals seemed so important Every pot of gold feeling full of distortion Heaven was a place still in space, not in motion But soon I got you I got everything I've got you I don't need nothing More than you I got everything I've got you We went walking through the hills Tryin' to pretend that we both know Maybe if we save up We could build a little home But then the hell storm came and yelled "You need to let go, you've got no control" No I got you I got everything I've got you I don't need nothing More than you I got everything I've got you This weight's too much alone Some days I can't hold it at all You take it on for me When tomorrow's too much I'll carry it all, I got you And when tomorrow's too much I'll carry it all, I got you I got you I got everything I've got you I don't need nothing More than you I got everything I've got you
