The O’Jays - I Got You Lyrics

I've been afraid for a long time
I know how it feels to be scared
I know what it means to be there
All alone in the dark
With your thoughts and your fears
And your prayers

But now for sure is the wrong time
To be on your own
I'll be the warm to your cold
I'll be the new to your old
Even in a war zone
I'll be your home

Even if the sky begins to fall
And even if they try to build that wall
And even if the bombs go off
And the world is set on fire, oh

I got your back, I will be near
My love will last, I'll be right here
I got you, I got you
I got your back, I will be near
My love will last, I'll be right here
I got you, I got you

Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
I got you

Love is a revolution
It twists and it turns
It burns but it heals
When it steals it returns
Join in the rebellion
Is this how we save the world, oh-oh

I can imagine a future where there is no hate
Forget what they say
You have always been great
I'll see you on the battle line
I got your back and I know you've got mine

And even when you're running from the flames
And even when you're crying from the pain
And even when there's no more time
And the seas are overflowin', oh

I got your back, I will be near
My love will last, I'll be right here
(Ooh) I got you (you know my) I got you
I got your back, I will be near
My love will last, I'll be right here (oh-oh)
I got you, I got you (oh baby, baby, baby)

Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I got you

Oh, oh-oh, oh
(I got you)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(I'll see you)
Oh, oh-oh, oh
(Love me, do me)
I got you

I got your back, I will be near
My love will last, I'll be right here
I got you (oh, you, you, you) I got you (oh you, you, you)
I got your back, I will be near (you, you, you, you)
My love will last, I'll be right here
I got you
