You're all I need to get by lyrics
by Aretha Franklin



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
Long as I got you, then, baby
You know that you got me, oh

'Cause we got our loving
R-e-s-p-e-c-t, oh, oh

Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
That you were my destiny

With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you

I will go where you lead
I'll be right there
In our time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be right there
To push me up the hill

There's no, no looking back for us
(No, there ain't, baby)
We got a love and sure enough
That's enough

You're all (you're all)
You're all I need, oh, oh
You're all I need, oh, 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
Ans dare anybody to try and move me

Darling, in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
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 can make a woman out of
A soul that didn't have a goal

'Cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
(Yes, we do)

You're all (yeah)
You're all I need, oh, oh
You're all I need, oh, oh
You're all I need to get by, yeah

Long as I got you, then, baby
You know that you got me, oh, yeah

'Cause we got our loving
R-e-s-p-e-c-t, oh, oh

Long as I got you, then, baby
You know that you got me, oh
You're all I need
You're all that I need
