Lyrics
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)
