Lyrics:

Opening
you're All I Need To Get By (Repeat 5 Times)
as Long As I Got You Baby You Know That You Got Me Ohh!
you're All I Need To Get By-Y-Y
cause We Got A Love Wi' Some R-Ah-E-S-P-E-C-T Ohh!

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 You 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)
