You Got The Love Lyrics
Florence + The Machine
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through
When food is gone you are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real
Your love is real
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
Time after time I think "Oh Lord what's the use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good
'Cause sooner or later in life, the things you love you loose
But you got the love I need to see me through
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
You' ve got the love
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
