LYRICS FOR "You're All I Need to Get By"

You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by

You're all I need to get by
As long as I got you baby you know that you got me, oh
We got our love wit' some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh

Like sweet morning dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see, you were my destiny
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you
Like I would go where you lead, I'll be right there in time of need
And when I lose my will, you'll be right there to push me up that hill

There's no, no looking back for us, no need baby
We've got our love and show love that's enough
You're all, whoa, you're all I need, whoa oh, you're all I need, whoa oh
You're all I need baby baby to get by, yeah get by

Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree and dare anybody that tries to move me
Darlin' in you I've found strength where I was torn down
I don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you, I'll inspire you a little bit higher
I know you, you can make a woman out of soul that didn't have a goal

'Cause we've, we've got the right foundation
And with the love and determination
You're all, you're all I need, whoa oh, you're all I need, whoa oh
You're all I need to get by, yeah, baby baby

As long as I got you baby you know that you got me, oh
'Cause we got our love wit' some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh
As long as I got you baby you know that you got me, oh
You're all I need, you're all I need
