#81 You’re All I Need To Get By (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell) 👍🏼

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)

#56 Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ooh, baby🪄
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no, no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing (oh, honey)🪄
I’ve got your picture hangin’ on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it’s just a picture in a frame
Ooh, I read your letters when you’re not near
But they don’t move me and they don’t groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Don’t you know?🪄
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing🪄
I play my game of fantasy
I pretend, but I know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me🪄
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
To make me feel better
So let’s stay together🪄
I’ve got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you’re gone
I’m well aware
Nothing can take the place of your being there, oh🪄
So glad we’ve got the real thing, baby
So glad we’ve got the real thing
Oh, Marvin (I know, honey)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby (so glad)
(So glad, oh, darling)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, talk to me
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby (ooh, oh, I’m so glad)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
