You're all i need to get by
by Aretha Franklin

Like sweet morning dew I took one look at you
And it was plain to see you where my destiny
With my arms open wide I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you
Like I would go where you lead
I´ll be right there in time of need
And when I lose my will you´ll be there to push me up that hill
There´s no looking back for us
We´ve got each other´s love and that´s enough
Cause you´re all I need to get by (chorus sung in Aretha´s typical
"run" fashion)
Like an eagle protects his nest for you I´ll do my best
Stand by yiu like a tree and dare anybody who tries 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 do what´s good for you I´ll inspire you a little bit higher
I know you can make a wo-man out of soul that didn´t have a goal
Cause we´ve got the right foundation and with the love
and determination (yes we do)
You´re all I need to get by (again, with the chorus Aretha does not
"sing it straight," she ad-libs and improvises into the denoument)
And it was plain to see you where my destiny
With my arms open wide I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you
Like I would go where you lead
I´ll be right there in time of need
And when I lose my will you´ll be there to push me up that hill
There´s no looking back for us
We´ve got each other´s love and that´s enough
Cause you´re all I need to get by (chorus sung in Aretha´s typical
"run" fashion)
Like an eagle protects his nest for you I´ll do my best
Stand by yiu like a tree and dare anybody who tries 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 do what´s good for you I´ll inspire you a little bit higher
I know you can make a wo-man out of soul that didn´t have a goal
Cause we´ve got the right foundation and with the love
and determination (yes we do)
