“You Got Me” is a song included on Mariah's 2002 Charmbracelet album, which features rappers Freeway and Jay-Z. “‘You Got Me’ is a song produced by Just Blaze,” Mariah told MTV. “We went in the studio after I heard the ‘Oh Boy’ track he did for Cam'ron 'cause I just loved it. This is kind of a signature Just Blaze track. We had Freeway on the song, and Jay-Z was in Capri this year taking a little vacation and he came and heard the song. He said he wanted to get on it.” An extended version of “You Got Me” was included on Freeway's Philadelphia Freeway album, released on February 25, 2003.

Freeway:
It's Mariah and Free
Just Blaze beats
It's the Roc and Mariah and the women go
And I love it when the ladies sing
And they love it when the whistles blow over the ring
Slide upon ya strip and go
Just to pick up ya sister, bro
You like to pick and choose who she dates
While I state who I like to stick and move
Silly fool, she know that I got her
I'll run up on the strip and go
For Mariah play a brother role
I'll play a different role
Let her roll in the wheel, long days nowhere to go
And no other slimmie will do
She just like Honey so she got me like Winnie the Pooh
Long nights let her chill with the crew
Only backwards will do and she know how to roll
They say out with the old and in with the new
But she my Dreamlover so I Can't Let Go, hey no
Please believe me, I never been a liar
Just fire Mariah and Free-weezy
I get shy around you
Don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
Cause you do something to me
That I can't describe baby
Always catch myself thinkin' bout
The things you do
There ain't no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me baby it's true
You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin' bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
Boy I'm entangled up in you
These feelings I just can't elude
Cause you're so captivating
That I inadvertently
Always catch myself thinking bout
The things you do
There ain't no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me baby it's true
You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin' bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
Jay-Z:
Mami got me buyin' property
Speedin' too fast, high velocity
Coppin' bracelets, Baby Roc piece
Vacay Saint-Tropez and Capri
And usually I be on my s*@t
Harlem Shakin' these groupies off me quick
But this time it's diff
Think the love gon' stick
Like velcro, let go, hell no ma
You know you got me
Said I'm insecure when I'm around you
Don't know what to say or do
Catching feelings boy, in spite of myself
I can't think of nobody else sugar
You're the star of all my dreams
I just wanna be your everything
Boy you know you really got me
Baby yeah
You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin' bout us
You know you got me
Starry eyed and elated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
You know you got me
Hypnotized
You know you got me
With you on my mind
You know you got me
Feeling intoxicated
You know you got me
Whenever you want me baby
Repeat
Said I'm insecure when I'm around you
Don't know what to say or do
Catching feelings boy, in spite of myself
I can't think of nobody else sugar
You're the star of all my dreams
I just wanna be your everything
Boy you know you really got me
Baby
