Knew you since I was three
Didn’t know how important you’d be
Growin like little kids do
One, two buckle my shoe
I was having a tough day
So I called and I heard you say
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
You were so far away
I said I was thru with prayin
Down in my bottomless pit,
You said, «Stop it now, don’t you quit»
I’m getting on a plane, to make you feel yourself again
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh I’ll wake you when you don’t feel alive
I got your back, love, I got your back, love
Even when you’ve given up on tryin
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh, I got your back
My feelings took control of me
And ate the best parts of me
I hungered for misery
Stripped myself of all my joy
You’d seen me go there before
You said, «This ain’t the end of your story»
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh I’ll wake you when you don’t feel alive
I got your back love, I got your back love
Even when you’ve given up on tryin
I got your back, love
I got your back, love
Oh, I got your back
Thank you, oh I thank you
For bein by my side
For givin me the strength
when I didn’t think I could get by
So if you’re ever feelin down, you know I’ll be around
Cuz I got your back, love
I got your back, love
I got your back
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
I got your back, I got your back
Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh
I-I-I-I-I got your back
