I Got You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got you
That's all I want!
I won't forget
That's a whole lot!
I don't go out
Not now that you're in
Sometimes, we shout
But, that's no problem

[Chorus]
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell that I'm not lying

[Verse 2]
Look at you
You're a pageant
You're everything
That I've imagined
But, something's wrong
I feel uneasy
You show me
Tell me you're not teasing

[Chorus]
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell that I'm not lying
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell me you're not lying

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
There's no doubt
Not when I'm with you
When I'm without
I stay in my room
Where do you go?
I get no answer
You're always out
It gets on my nerves

[Outro]
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell that I'm not lying
But I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell me you're not lying
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes
You can tell that I'm not lying
