David Bowie & Marianne Faithfull - “I Got You Babe” (1973)

"It was October 1973 and three months earlier David Bowie had stood before his fans at the Hammersmith Odeon and announced–to the surprise of his band–that he was effectively ending Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars..."

"I GOT YOU BABE"

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

(Chorus) Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earn'd our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

(chorus)



I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring
And when i'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared you're always around

So let them say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't do wrong
And put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

(chorus)

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
