when I was scuffling for a buck,
not overly concerned with
I was always feeling sorry for
With my nose to the grindstone,
my shoulder to the wheel,
I fought for my daily dollar
An d then you came into my life
and nothing else seemed real.
I found the answer right here in my hand.
I got everything a man could ever need.
and songs to sing in the morning.
I got hands to hold my baby child,
eyes to watch my woman smile.
I got everything a man could
Now my working day seems shorter
The evening breeze gets cool
The morning sun is always shining
Your laughter washes all my cares away
that I don't look up to the skies
And humbly thank the good
For bringing you to me in time,
That all a poor boy really needs is love
I got everything a man could ever need
and dreams to dream in the morn
I got hands to hold my baby child
Eyes to watch my woman smile
Oh, that's everything a man could ever need
I got everything a man could ever need
