Short because the ends they had to meet
We’re jumpin’ in with both feet way too deep
Share a space with barely any room
But you got me and baby I got you
Gonna pay the piper, didn’t mean to fit the crime
If we show up with our rent late one more time
I’d go anywhere though, can’t you see
Long as I got you and baby you got me
I got you and baby you got me
We can dance until they’re knockin’ at the door
Live there til we don’t live there anymore
Sacrifice a couple wants and needs
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Never really that far from the past
Thankfully only good things last
I’d go anywhere though, can’t you see
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Long as I got you and baby you got me
So let’s dance until they’re knockin’ at the door
Live there til we don’t live there anymore
Sacrifice a couple wants and needs
Long as I got you and baby you got me
We can dance until they’re knockin’ at the door
Live there til we don’t live there anymore
Sacrifice a couple wants and needs
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Long as I got you and baby you got me
Fans have praised the live rendition for its heartfelt delivery and the way Prince’s voice fills Massey Hall, turning a simple love song into a communal anthem of resilience and connection.
