[Verse 1]
I can see you hurting, I've been through the same thing
Baby, don't you worry, I got you
I just wanna know you, tell me all your secrets
Lookin' like you need it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I got you, you, oh
You, I got you, I got you
'Cause I got you, you, oh
You, I got you, I got you
[Chorus]
We can get high, oh, na-na-na
We can get low, oh, na-na-na
Let me be your friend, baby, let me in
Tell you no lies, oh, na-na-na
We can get lost, oh, na-na-na
Take it all off, oh, na-na-na
Let me be your friend, baby, let me in
Give it to me all, oh, na-na-na
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you're thinkin', always overthinkin'
I just wanna love you, I got you
Don't have to be so guarded, let's finish what we started
It's all I ever wanted
I can see you hurting, I've been through the same thing
Baby, don't you worry, I got you
I just wanna know you, tell me all your secrets
Lookin' like you need it

I'd do the time for you, tell a lie for you
Yeah, baby, that's what I do
I'd walk the line for you, take a shot for you
Yeah, baby, that's what I do
'Cause I got you, it's true
I'd die for you, I'd die for you

What did Bebe Rexha say about "I Got You"?
Genius Answer
When I first wrote this song, it was about meeting somebody that I really liked and wanting them to open up, because I had my heart open. You know, ‘Let me in!’. I think that’s what this song is about, is meeting someone you really like and just wanting them to let their walls down.
