Michael McDonald - You're All I Need To Get By lyrics

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

Now baby

Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you,

And it was plain to see, you were my destiny.

With arms open wide, I threw away my pride

I'll sacrifice for you

Dedicate my life to you

I will go where you lead

Always there in times 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.

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 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 try a little more for

All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one

You're all, you're all I need, you're all I need, all, all, to get by.

Baby, baby, baby yeah, love

Oh, ooh nothing baby, nothing baby

Ooh true baby, oh no

Nothing in this world, no baby

Nothing, baby

Oooh, all I need
