All my life, I’ve worked and slaved And cried and prayed and tried to do the things That people tell us we should do Now, now I see The things that people try for the most Are things about which they can boast But I don’t wanna act the way they do When you smile at me and say (you don’t care for money) All my troubles go away (I’m so lucky honey) All I really need is you by my side All I really need is you If they say, that I’m a losin’ guy And no matter how I try, I’ll never give you anything that counts I don’t care, ’cause in your eyes, girl I can see the love and faith that you have in me I’ll try to keep on tryin’ till I’m down and out When you’re standing by my side (when you touch my hand) Almost makes me wanna cry (I feel like a man) All I really need is you by my side All I really need is you My soul, my life, I pledge to you All my heart and love, that’s always true Oh I, I know, some people say that I’m not worthy anything like you but baby I will keep on trying Oh to keep you from crying and If they say, that I’m a losin’ guy And no matter how I try, I’ll never never give you anything that counts I don’t care, ’cause in your eyes, girl I can see the love and faith that you have in me I’ll try to keep on tryin’ till I’m down and out When you’re standing by my side (when you touch my hand) Almost makes me wanna cry (I feel like a man) All I really need is you by my side All I really need is you
