Simply S.A.M. - I Got You

Hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you
Hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis

I never understood the reason for hurting girls
When the only way that you got here is she brought you in this world
Ok, maybe she didn't - but someone did
And those tears you see - come from somebody's kid
How can you justify robbing her of her innocence
Then every Sunday go to church and shout about deliverance
She's shivering - cause she knows the Mama's working late
Cause lately those been the long nights she's grown to hate
Too young to understand the things that you discuss
She's a victim of your lies - as you lie on top of her
Can't take the weight of a man
She can't breathe as she's wheezing
She's needing a reason for all this mistreating
Mama, was I really being that bad
There's something I want to say - but I don't want you to get mad
I promise I'll clean my room and I'll do better when in class
Just please don't let the mean man back - I GOT YOU

I swear that things will never be the same
I'll never let that man put his hands on you again
And if you cry - he won't be the reason why
Tonight you can close your eyes - I GOT YOU
I swear that things will never be the same
I'll never let that man put his hands on you again
And if you cry - he won't be the reason why
Tonight you can close your eyes - I GOT YOU

I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama

Raising your hand and you striking her again
Only reason that you can is cause you know you're not a man
Look in her eyes - you can see that she's deprived
Of the love - of a man - that cares - for his wife
She wants to leave him - she's tired of the beatings
His words leave her with deep scars - but no one sees them
She prays to God - I know that I said I'd love him
But my daughter's acting strange and I don't know if I can trust him
And he keeps hitting my son - even after we both discussed it
And this makeup can't hide the fact that I got an abusive husband
Please Lord - I'm down on my knees
I'll do anything - just give me peace - I GOT YOU

I swear that things will never be the same
I'll never let that man put his hands on you again
And if you cry - he won't be the reason why
Tonight you can close your eyes - I GOT YOU
I swear that things will never be the same
I'll never let that man put his hands on you again
And if you cry - he won't be the reason why
Tonight you can close your eyes - I GOT YOU

I GOT YOU
