You’re All I Need to Get By Songtext
von 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

As long as I got you then, baby, you know that you′ve got me, oh (oh-oh)

′Cause we've got our love in some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh (oh-oh)

Like sweet morning dew, 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 sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you

I would go where you lead
I′ll be right there in a time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up that hill


There′s no, no looking back for us
We've got our love and sure know that′s enough
You're all, you're all I need
You′re all, you′re all I need
(You're all) You′re all I need, baby, baby to get by
Yeah, to get by

Like an eagle protect his nest for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree and dare anybody that try 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 bitta higher
I know you can make a woman out of soul that didn′t have a goal

'Cause we, we′ve got the right foundation
And with the love and determination (yea, we do)
You're, you′re all I need
You're all, you′re all I need
You're all, you're all I need to get by
Yeah, yeah

As long as I got you then, baby, you know that you′ve got me, oh (oh, yeah, mmm)
′Cause we've got our love in some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, oh (oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh)
As long as I got you then, baby, you know that you′ve got me, oh
You're all I need
You′re all that I need
You're all that I need
