Aretha Franklin - You're All I Need To Get By Lyrics






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

As long as I got you then baby, you know that you've got me, oh!
'Cause we've got our love in some R E S P E C T, oh!

Like sweet morning dew, took one look at you
And it was plain to see that you were 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 a time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up that hill

There's no, no looking back for us
We've got our love and sure know that's enough
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need, baby, baby to get by
Yea, to go by

Like an eagle protect his nest, for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree and dare anybody that try 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 to do what's good for you, I'll inspire you a little bitta higher
I know you can make a woman out of soul that didn't have a goal

'Cause we, we've got the right foundation
And with the love and determination
You're, you're all I need
You're all, you're all I need
You're all, you're all I need to get by
Yea...

Yea, as long as I got you then baby, you know that you've got me, oh!
Mm, 'cause we've got our love in some R E S P E C T, oh!
As long as I got you then baby
You know that you've got me, oh
You're all I need
You're all that I need
You're all that I need

    Listen I didn't know that Aretha had this version of this song. I've only heard of the Marvin Gaye Tammy Terrell version. They played both on the tv show Scandal and both versions are great.

  15. R.... E....

    Too slow for me but great voice.

  16. A.... G....

    Listen to Aretha
    Soul power
    Feel up lifted

    Great vocals
    Great song words / lyrics

    Amazing solo version of my favourite song. Marvin and Tammi's duet is so special though, it's true love on vinyl. This was Tim and I's song, played it at his funeral, means the world to me x

    She did and sang so many great songs brilliantly but this is my ultimate and favourite song of hers, much more positive message.

    "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.
    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.
    Darlin' 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 wrapp'd up into one"

  47. a.... g....

    Bad ass bass line. Usually it is the the bass and drum holding the bottom but this is Aretha and that bass, emphasis on Aretha with that bass accomplishment, not out front but picking up the attitude she laid out. I thought that this was James Jamerson but noooo.

  69. Z.... ....

    Yes Guys. My mother to the Queen at a very young age. My style is so much like hers as a result of it. She sings with a lot of harmony that’s the key. Harmony

  70. J.... M....

    I love this version have you heard her at 2:30 that pure raw soul I love it and I love her so much !

  71. k.... ....

    I am just now realizing the full range of what Aretha gave us. As a youngin', I always knew she deserved the title Queen of Soul but damn I didn't know she produced all of these jewels. We are blessed to have all that she has given us.

  72. d.... d....

  75. C.... G....

    👑👑👑👑

  76. M.... P....

    Another example how Aretha took a song by Ashford and Simpson and she would not give it back!!! You go girl. RIP!!

    M.... P....

    Exactly!

  77. D.... C....

    She made it sound SO effortless. Do you hear The ease in her voice. Truly blessed with a gift. We love you and your music Queen. Thank you and rest well.

  78. K.... W....

    OMG, who sang the song first? I never knew Aretha Franklin made a version of this song too. Love Tammy and Marvin’s version. Both sound great.

    K.... W....

    Katrina White same here. I didn’t know until I saw it on YouTube. I have to say her version is slightly better than the original one.

  79. P.... R....

    Amazing recording. At no point does she sing the melody of the song as written. The background singers sing the melody in the chorus. God blessed this lady with a swiss army knife of musical gifts (singer, musician, songwriter, vocal arranger, producer), all on display in this song. She will be greatly missed, but thank God she shared her gifts with us. Love you Queen!

    P.... R....

    Of course, the great Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote this classic

  80. P.... T....

    The only thing I can stay is there will never ever be another she was the greatest...R.I.P QUEEN.
