Got What I Need
Freddie Scott Lyrics

Oh, baby, you, you got what I need
You, my love, have everything that I need, and I require your presence in my life.

You got everything I need
You possess every vital thing that I desire, and I cannot do without you.

You're like medicine to me
You act as a cure to my life's troubles, I am at peace in your company.

In a world of salty tears
In a life of miseries, pain and anguish, where happiness is scarce.

So afraid and full of fears
Living in constant anxiety and restlessness.

So glad you saved me, dear
I am happy you came into my life and shielded me from the emotional trauma.

You brought sunshine to my life
You lit up my world with your affection and thoughtfulness.

Things were wrong, you made them right
Before you came, things were sour and almost unbearable, but now you have made everything perfect.

How did you do it, dear?
I wonder how you manage to turn my world around and make it a better place.

Oh, I'm thankful every day (ooh)
I am grateful all the time for your presence in my life.

That you came my way (ooh)
I'm thankful that fate brought you to me.

And I hope and pray (ooh)
I wish and pray that you will never leave my side.

'Cause you, oh, you got what I need, little girl
You have all that I need in a partner, and I cannot do without you.

I was drowning in the sea of love
The deep emotions of love had consumed and overwhelmed me.

Going down for the third time
I was about to give up, and love was winning over me for the third time.

All the sweet things you've been doin'
The kind, gentle and amiable gestures and deeds you have been showing me.

I ain't never gettin' used to them
I cannot adapt or get accustomed to these lovely deeds as I am still in awe.

Don't ever stop them, dear
Please do not put an end to these kind acts as I have become habituated to them.

Oh, I'm thankful every day (ooh)
I am grateful all the time for your presence in my life.

And I'm gonna make sure (ooh)
I will ensure that I do everything possible to keep you in my life.

That you never ever go away
I don't ever want to be separated from you, so please never leave me.

Oh you, oh you got what I need, little girl
You have all that I need in a partner, and I cannot do without you.

(Everything I need) Oh yeah
Yes, you possess all the necessary requirements to make our relationship work.

(Medicine to me) Oh baby
Just like medicine heals a sick body, your presence in my life brings healing to my soul.

Oh you got it, got it
You have all that I desire, and I don't desire anyone else.

Got what I need, little girl
You have all that I want and require, my love.

You got everything I need
You possess every vital thing that I desire, and I cannot do without you.

You're like medicine to me
You act as a cure to my life's troubles, I am at peace in your company.

I got to, got to, got to
I must emphasize and make you understand

Got to tell you, baby
That I have to communicate clearly with you.
