If my house flowed down in the river
If all of these walls tumble down in the storm
If this war took all of my money
All of my pride
But I'd never be poor
As long as we got each other
There's nothing in the world that can steal my joy
Yeah, as long as we got each other
We can overcome the madness of the world
Yeah
'Cause people don't make the world go 'round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you (know I got you)
Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
And if I know one things going to be all right
Then I know that it's me and you
Oh, oh
So they say we're running out of time
We're running out of water
We're running out of light
And we all got too many problems
And just not enough answers
And if we keep our own lives
Then they'll gon' tell us what we like
Oh, but as long as we got each other
Ooh there's nothing in the world that can steal my joy
(As long as we got each other)
We can overcome
(We can overcome)
The madness of the world
Oh, oh
They can sell me a story
And tell me we're in danger
But our love will never die
'Cause people don't make the world go 'round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby, I know got you (know I got you)
You keep me sheltered
(Sheltered from the six o'clock blues)
Yeah, you keep me sheltered (sheltered)
From the six o'clock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered
Sheltered, sheltered, sheltered
Baby from and if I know one thing
It's going to be all right
(That you know that it's me and you)
I know that I got my baby
Like the birds that lived in the sky
(Yeah, the sky)
We never have to worry
'Cause somehow we'll get by
(Somehow we'll get by)
Let us come together
We can make it all right (all right)
The world is going to tether
Just like you and I (oh, yeah)
Oh, people don't make the world go 'round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
Yeah, and if I know one things going to be all right
Then I know that it's me and my beautiful baby
