My song of the week: Split Enz I Got You (and lyrics)

As often happens, my song of the week falls in the pop zone...and as often happens, it is a song I have heard over the years, and suddenly get lit up on. I passed up opportunities to see Split Enz, and now, nearly 30 years later...I decide I like this song. I like a lot of other Neil Finn (and Crowded House and Finn Brothers) tunes too...

This is a very nice live version:



I Got You
By Neil Finn

I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot
I don't go out - now that you're in
Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

Look at you - you're a pageant
You're everything - that I've imagined
Something's wrong - I feel uneasy
You show me - tell me you're not teasin'

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it gets on my nerves

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying
