You’re All I Need to Get By Songtext
von Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

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
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 'nough, that′s enough
You′re all, you're all I need to get by
(You′re all I need to get by) Tammi, listen


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
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 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


Oh, babe
Oh, babe
Honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah
I need you darling
Oh, I need you (you're all)
All your love (all I need)
Oh, oh, oh
I love you darling (oh, baby)
All I need
I need your love (you′re all I want)
Oh (oh)
All you love now (yeah)
