I was watching "Friends" the other day when this conversation popped up. I am a little bit confused with this expression-"You got me." What does it mean?
What does the speaker intend to say?
Phoebe : I can’t believe you–did this.
So, what’s the deal with uh you and Joey?Ursula : Oh, right. He is so great. But that’s over.
Phoebe : Does he know?
Ursula : Who?
Phoebe : Joey. You know, um, he’s really nutsy about you.
Ursula : He is? Why?
Phoebe : You got me.

I use this expression to say "I don't really know." Phoebe wants to say "I don't know why he's nutsy about you. You got me."
