When I was just a boy,
my papa always bought me toys,
but I was my momma's pride,
I was her pride and her joy.
Childhood was so sweet, baby, to me
But then I became a young man
I found life could not,
could not be planned
Sometimes dreams slip right
through your hand
Hey, but that's when you learn
The basic things you really need
Baby, baby, ooh,
you're all I need in life
You're all I need, baby
Baby, baby, ooh,
you're all I need in life
You're all I need
I've learned to understand
that the essence of a man
is accepting just who I am,
knowing what's right for me.
And through exper ience,
tasting bitter and the sweet,
I'm quite sure that you're all I need
to build my life,
for now and all eternity.
Baby, baby,
Ooh, you're all I need in life,
you're all I need
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Ooh, you're all I need in life,
you're all I need
Baby, baby, ooh,
you're all I need in life
You're all I need,
like coal to the snow
Baby, baby, ooh
Like water to water
No matter where I go
Sugar to bread
Baby, baby,
Like food to the hungry man
You're all I need
Like a super plan
You're all I need
You're a part of all my plans
Baby, baby, baby
Well
You're all I need
Like honey to the feet
You're all I need
Like money to the master
Baby, baby,
You're all I need
You're all I need
Baby, you're all I need
Like wind and storm
Like moon to love us
You're all I
We're broken on and on
You're all I need
Baby
Baby, baby
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need
Oh, baby
You're all I need, you're all I need
And I can make it through with you,
sugar
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're I need, you're all I need
