[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 I'd never be poor 



[Pre-Chorus] 

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 badness of the world 



[Chorus] 

'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 

Yeah, you keep me sheltered through the six o'clock blues 

And if I know one things going to be alright 

Then I know that it's me and you (oh, oh) 



[Bridge] 

So they say we're running out of time 

We're running out of water 

We're running out of light 

We all got to many problems 

And just not enough answers 

But if we keep our own lives then they'll tell us what we like 



[Pre-Chorus] 

Oh, but as long as we got each other 

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 badness of the world 



[Verse 2] 

They can sell me a story 

And tell me we're in danger 

But our love will never die 



[Chorus] 

'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 

You keep me sheltered through the six o'clock blues 

Yeah, you keep me sheltered 

Through the six o'clock 

Yeah you keep me sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered 

Baby if I know one thing 

It's 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 we'll get by
