[Verse 1]
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 Id never be poor[Pre-Chorus]
As long as we got each other
Theres nothing in the world that can steal my joy
Yeah, As long as we got each other
We can overcome the badness of the world[Chorus]
Cause people dont 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 through the six oclock blues
And if I know one things going to be alright
Then I know that its me and you (oh, oh)[Bridge]
So they say were running out of time
Were running out of water
Were running out of light
We all got to many problems
And just not enough answers
But if we keep our own lives then theyll tell us what we like[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but as long as we got each other
Theres nothing in the world that can steal my joy
As long as we got each other (we can overcome)
We can overcome the badness of the world[Verse 2]
They can sell me a story
And tell me were in danger
But our love will never die[Chorus]
Cause people dont make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
You keep me sheltered through the six oclock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered
Through the six oclock
Yeah you keep me sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered
Baby if I know one thing
Its going to be all right
I know that I got my baby
Like the birds that live in the sky
We never have to worry
Cause somehow well get by
