I Got You

I, I know I got here late But you know what you said That some people are worth the wait It's like an old time movie with All of the classic tones of black and white See how your eyes catch the light Look at that guy over there, smoothing down his facial hair Trying to work up the nerve to charm the girl who came to serve Cocktails to the drunken crowd, he wants to talk, but it's too loud So he just stands and stares at her, like she's some exotic bird Trying not to play the fool That was me before I got you You can't remember all of your lines But you know, they were better 'Cause you made 'em up in your head It's like an old time movie with All of the classic tones of black and white See how your eyes catch the light If you slip on side walks when the ice has just begun to melt If you need your laces tied 'cause you can't do it for yourself I'll do the laundry, make the bed, read the letters that you send Whatever you need me to do, don't worry babe 'cause I got you I got you under my skin And this moment, it don't have to end (ooh, ooh) I could've been the one who stands against the wall at every dance Who never saw the silver moon, and doesn't laugh at old cartoons Someone who never got to see the way you stop and talk to trees Always quiet, out of reach, the cowboy or the lonely beast In the morning do nothing, leave dishes in the kitchen sink And towels on the bedroom floor, never thinking there was more I know you had your pick of them, through the bastards and the gentleman Just glad the movie ended sweet, 'cause I got you and you got me I got you and you got me
