Gotta Have You is performed by musical duo The Weepies. This stripped-down love song, rendered in the purest folk vernacular, proves that sincere emotion—unadorned by flashy technique—can transcend time and touch the heart.
The Lyrics of Gotta Have You:
Gray quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me
Over the phone
Red eyes and fire and signs
I'm taken by a nursery rhyme
I wanna make a ray of sunshine
And never leave home
No amount of coffee
No amount of crying no amount of whiskey
No amount of wine no no no no no
Nothing else will do
I've gotta have you I've gotta have you
The road gets cold there's no spring
In the meadow this year
And I'm the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh such a primadonna
Sorry for myself
But green it is also summer
And I won't be warm
'Til I'm lying in your arms
No amount of coffee no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey no amount of wine
No no no no no nothing else will do
I've gotta have you I've gotta have you
I see it all through a telescope
Guitar suitcase and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat
Humming a tune mm
No amount of coffee no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey no wine
No no no no no nothing else will do
I've gotta have you I've gotta have
No amount of coffee no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey no amount of wine
No no no no no nothing else will do
I've gotta have you I've gotta have you
I've gotta have you
I've gotta have you
I've gotta have you
