Emilie-claire Barlow (i've Got) Just About Everything I Need
I've got just about everything that I need To make this life that I lead an enjoyable thing I've got bluebirds and posies and robins and rosies All kinds of flowers that bloom All kinds of birds that sing
I've got just about everything that I want To make this Earth that I walk a miraculous place I've got fresh air and sunshine and mountains and may wine And what is really a boon: I love the human race
When I say just about, just about, just about everything I mean I must admit: one thing is really missing Well, I'm not complaining With or without it I still got what I got But you could better my life with some of your huggin' and kissin' That's what I'm missin'
Just say those words that I long to hear you say And then my life will be complete and full to the top And I'll share all my treasures, my riches and pleasures Makin the two of us one That's all that need be done
Say you'll be my own, my one and only one Then I can say I've got everything I need
I've got just about everything that it takes To set the scene and make it a marvelous bit I've got barrels of laughter and hope ever after And though I don't like to boast, shucks baby I've got "it"
I've got just about everything that there is To make this her's and his a terrific affair I've got dewdrops and oceans and all kinds of notions And since I dig you the most I've got the urge to share
Thought I've got just about, just about, just about everything I know for sure by now I really need what's lacking No doubt about it, living without it I might turn out a slob At best remain just a blob So darling won't you supply it? Come on, let's try it
I could go on just as I am year after year Yet with that one thing more I know I'll reach the divine That's to have you and hold you and now that I've told you Please make a positive sign Saying that you'll be mine And we'll have everything Oh, how my heart will sing Then I can say I've got everything I need
