#451 - Sonny And Cher - I Got You Babe - 1965
running recap for me - 3's=26, 2's=17, 1's=7
this one - ***
from the album: Look At Us
Written by Sonny Bono
Produced by Sonny Bono
Chart action: #1 US, #1 UK, #1 Canada
the players:
Sonny & Cher – vocals
Hal Blaine - drums
don't know the others
One of the greatest love songs ever written. Or maybe it was just my love for Sonny & Cher. Don't think I
missed an episode. Whoulda thunk it? A couple of sixties hippies with their own show on primetime network
tv. Sonny was the genius behind it all. Sonny begot Cher. And they gave birth to this classic, plus that
Chasity mistake. This was written by Sonny when he was working for Phil Spector, for Cher not Phil. It
became the duos biggest selling single and their signature song. Covered by many, most well known being
Ub40 with Chrissie Hynde, in 1985, taking the song back to #1 in the UK.

Lyrics
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we're grown
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
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
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure
Of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care,
With you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain
We can't climb
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, 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
