I Got You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always knew that you would leave
The world was telling you to come and claim it
You took a one way on the 10th
And I don't know if you'll be back again

Yeah, you say you wanna make it big, oh
This city's made of silly dreams and heartbreak
They live their lives in black and white
But your true colors saturated my heart

[Chorus]
So if it rains on your parade
I'm coming with a marching band to back you up
Nobody left to entertain
Then play our favorite tune
I got you, babe

And if the clouds roll in again
I'm coming with a rescue crew to pull you out
No matter bus, train, boat or plane
There's nothing I won't do
I got you
I got you, babe

[Verse 2]
This town could never understand, oh no
You're still the topic of the conversation
There's quite a bit of slowing down
And pointing fingers by your parents house
Yeah, yeah, alright
I see your face on the TV... screen
I know it's just the start of something bigger
I know we'll always be in touch
But I still miss you when I drink too much!

[Chorus]
So if it rains on your parade
I'm coming with a marching band to back you up
Nobody left to entertain
Then play our favorite tune
I got you, baby, oh!

And if the clouds roll in again
I'm coming with a rescue crew to pull you out
No matter bus, train, boat or plane
There's nothing I won't do
I got you
I got you, babe

[Bridge]
I got you, you got me
Oh, nothing we can't do
I got you, baby

I got you, you got me
Oh, nothing we can't do
I got you, baby
[Outro: Nick Noonan]
And when it rains on your parade
I'm coming with a marching band to back you up
Nobody left to entertain
Then play our favorite tune
I got you, baby, oh

And if the clouds roll in again
I'm coming with a rescue crew to pull you out
No matter bus, train, boat or plane
There's nothing I won't do
I got you, baby, oh

And if the clouds roll in again
I'm coming with a rescue crew to pull you out
No matter bus, train, boat or plane
There's nothing I won't do...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“I Got You” is the closing track from Karmin’s sophomore album “Leo Rising”. The song is representative of the Pisces sign.
It is the only track which features band member Nick Noonan’s as a lead vocalist rather than background vocals (as occurs with the rest of the album).

The song is the reverse of the song “Save Me Now” from Leo Rising, which describes Amy as a career woman leaving her small town, talking to her ex who decided to stay.

“I Got You” instead pictures this ex-man of hers leaving to make it big and achieve his goals and dreams whilst Amy stays in her hometown in Nebraska.
