The song opens with the singer tearful lamenting, “He asked me if I need a hug, I said I got nothin inside left to love, and then he said, But baby ya still got, baby you still got me,” before the chorus swirls up to the heavens as she yearns, “There’ll be sweet dreams waiting to come true If you let me in if you ask me to, Sweet songs that will live on and on, If you let me in, if you ask me to, I will love you strong, but if you can’t get free… You still got me.”
Talking about the song, Hart said, “This is a true story. I had a moment where I wasn’t in a positive mood, and I was hanging out on the couch, crying pretty hard, and Scott said, ‘Hey, do you need a hug?’ I said, I’ve got nothing inside left to love, and he said, you still got me. I said, hang on a minute; I’ll be right back. I went downstairs and used those words and how he said it. You say something like that, and someone who you love so much says back, but you’ve still got me. It’s true. If I’ve still got him, I’ve still got everything.”
