Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
As long as I got you, then, baby, you know that you got me, oh
Oh
'Cause we got our love and some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh
Oh
[Verse 3]
Like the sweet morning dew
Took one look at you
And it was plain to see
That you were my destiny
[Verse 4]
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you
[Verse 5]
I will go where you lead
I'll be right there in a time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be right there to push me up that hill
[Verse 6]
(There's no) Oh
(No looking back for us) No, there ain't, baby
(We've got our love and, sure 'nough, that's enough)
(You're all) You're all (You're all I need)
(Whoa whoa, you're all I need) Mmmm
(Whoa whoa) You're all I need, baby, baby, to get by
Yeah, to get by
[Verse 7]
Like an eagle protects his nest
For you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree
And dare anybody to try and move me
[Verse 8]
Darling, in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
I don't know what's in store
But together we can open any door
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
('Cause we) Yeah
(We've got the right foundation) Ah, yeah
(And with love and determination) Yes, we do
(You're all) Yeah (You're all I need)
(Whoa whoa) Hear me, baby (You're all I need)
(Whoa whoa) Woo! You're all I need to get by
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
As long as I got you, then, baby, you know that you got me, oh
Oh (Yeah)
Mmm
'Cause we got our love and some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh
Oh, hmm (Yeah)
[Verse 12]
As long as I got you, then, baby, you know that you got me, oh
You're all I need (Yeah)
You're all that I need
You're all that I need
