I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher

 [Her:]

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[Him:]
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe

[Her:]
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[Him:]
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe

[Him:]
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
[Her:]
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

[Her:]
So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
[Him:]
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe

[Him:]
I got you to hold my hand
[Her:]
I got you to understand
[Him:]
I got you to walk with me
[Her:]
I got you to talk with me

[Him:]
I got you to kiss goodnight
[Her:]
I got you to hold me tight
[Him:]
I got you, I won't let go
[Her:]
I got you to love me so

[Both:]
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Sonny looks like Kirby from the tunetimers. This song was covered by ub40 and Chrissy Hines. How in the fuck did she end up teaming up with them anyway? Cher was the first person to use auto tune in a song that I can recall. The song was do you believe in life after love. When I first heard it I thought well that sounds kinda cool. Sadly everyone else thought so too. Now it just makes me enraged whenever I hear it. I wish it was a capitol offence

This song will always remind me of 'Groundhog Day'

I'm a much bigger fan of her movies than her music

'Moonstruck' is a classic

She was also on a lot of variety shows in the 70's and she was a hoot

'Auto Tune' is cheating
