As Long As I Got You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else
Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself
Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours
Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door
Because you know I love you
Because you know I love you
[Verse 2]
So far it's been so good and it seems we'll stand the test of time
You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine"
What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes
Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose
[Chorus]
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
[Verse 3]
You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone
You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan
You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids
Landing on my feet with you I'm so happy this is how we live
Because you know I love you
Because you know I love you
It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else
Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself
Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours
Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door
Because you know I love you
Because you know I love you
[Verse 2]
So far it's been so good and it seems we'll stand the test of time
You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine"
What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes
Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose
[Chorus]
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
[Verse 3]
You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone
You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan
You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids
Landing on my feet with you I'm so happy this is how we live
Because you know I love you
Because you know I love you
[Chorus]
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
[Chorus]
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
[Chorus]
I had that awful feeling
That I needed help
My life had lost its meaning
But you saved me from myself
[Post-Chorus]
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell
As long as I've got you and we can be
Together and forever just you and me
Well, that's swell

Genius Answer
The song is really about my husband and its his favorite kind of music. It’s about him saving me really and coming along in a time in my life where I probably most needed to be saved. He’s done a pretty good job. Love him!
