[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
Through drought and famine, natural disasters
My baby has been around for me
Kingdoms have fallen, angels be callin'
None of that could ever make me leave, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Every time I look into your eyes, I see it
You're all I need
Every time I get a bit inside, I feel it
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
And when we're making love, uh
Your cries, they can be heard from far and wide
It's only the two of us
Everything I need between those thighs
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Every time I look into your eyes, I see it
You're all I need
Every time I get a bit inside, I feel it
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, babe
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
[Verse 3: Kali Uchis & Daniel Caesar]
And I'll take some time
Just to be thankful
That I had days full of you, you
Before it winds down into (Got someone you like, feel something that's right)
The memories, it's all just memories (Somebody, just tell somebody)
Now
[Bridge: Daniel Caesar]
(If you've got someone you like)
Don't you love when I come around? (Feel something that's right)
(Somebody, just tell somebody) Build you up then I take you down
(If you've got someone you like)
Don't you love when I come around? (Feel something that's right)
(Somebody, just tell somebody) Build you up then I take—
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, babe
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
[Outro: Kali Uchis]
This feels like summer
Boy, you make me feel so alive
Just be my lover
Boy, you'll lead me to paradise

I met a girl and got very involved. She brought things and feelings out of me that I didn’t know I had. ‘Get You' is a song of praise to a love I didn’t even feel I deserved at the time […] Being with someone you truly adore and being present enough in the moment that the world literally slows down...
I don’t think it was a specific moment. It might have been having sex or something, but it was kind of just a period of time. I was sitting and thinking about my life at the time, and it just came out.
I was really broke, living with my girl at the time. It was a broke-and-in-love sort of thing. Sh...
She heard “Violet,” or whatever, and reached out on Instagram. We corresponded for a long time. We had one session the first time I went to LA. We did some stuff. It didn’t end up making the album. Then I wrote “Get You,” and it needed some feminine energy on there. I was like, “She’d be perfect for...
I wrote it in the garage. Every song, how it works is I’ll write it on the guitar or the piano, and then get a voice note or something, and then I’ll bring it to Matthew and Jordan.
