You’re All I Need to Get By Songtext
von Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams

You′re all I need to get by

Like the 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'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you

I will go where you lead (come on, baby)
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You′ll be there to push me up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We got love sure enough, that's enough
You′re all, you′re all I need to get by
I need to get by


Like an eagle protects his nest
For you, I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree
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 (come on, darling)
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man
Out of a soul that didn't have a goal

′Cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You′re all, you′re all I need
You're all I need
You′re all I need to get by


(Whoa) I need (whoa) what to get by, over
Honey, honey, honey, honey
Baby, I need (you're all I need) to get by, to get by (just put a little harder, well)
Honey, honey, honey, honey
I need (you′re all I want) to get by, to get by (you're all I need)
Honey, honey, honey, honey
