[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
