Looking back on the daysWhen I was scuffling for a buckNot overly concerned with life and loveI was always feeling sorryFor myself and my bad luckI never stopped to think what life's made ofWith my nose to the grindstoneAnd my collar to the wheelI fought for my daily dollar like a manThen you came into my lifeAnd nothing else seemed realI found the answer right here in my handsNow I've got everything a man could ever needI've got dreams to dream and songs to singIn the morningI've got hands to hold my baby childAnd eyes to watch my woman smileI've got everything a man could ever needNow my working days seem shorterThan they ever did beforeAnd the evening breeze gets cooler day by dayAnd the morning sun is always shiningDown on my backdoorAnd your laughter washes all my tears awayAnd there's not a day goes byWhen I don't look up to the skyAnd humbly thank the good Lord up aboveFor bringing you to me in timeTo make me realizeThat all a poor man really needs is loveI've got everything a man could ever need
