Marvin Gaye - You're All I Need To Get By (1995) Lyrics

Artist: Marvin Gaye

Album: Anthology: Marvin Gaye

Genre: R&B

  • Songwriters: Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson

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 to 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 enough, that's enough

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

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 need to get by
I 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 to get by
