A cappella
Darling, I love you
I really love you
Darling, I love you
I really love you
The air that I breathe
The food that I eat
The water I drink
You are
You are
Yo-o-ou are
You are necessary in my life
Without you at my side
Things wouldn't be right
You're number one
You're the one who stood by me
When no one seemed to care
You were always there
You are necessary in my life (you are necessary)
I wanna thank you, my dear
For making everything nice
You've given me every reason to live
Because of you I've got so much love to give (because of you so much love to give)
And it's all for you
You are necessary in my life (you are necessary)
I wanna tell you these things (wo-o-o-oh)
I wanna tell you these things, babe
You've given me every reason to live
Because of you I've got so much love to give (because of you so much love to give)
Oh, yeah
And it's all for you
You are necessary in my life
Without you at my side (wo-o-o-oh)
Things wouldn't be right
No one has ever made me feel this way
You hold the key to come in my door (because of you so much love to give)
Like within my soul
Sweet baby, baby
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
You're number one
You're the only one (who stood by me)
Oh, and no one else would claim
(You are necessary)
(You are necessary)
(You are necessary)
You're the air I breathe, you're the food I eat (you are necessary)
You're the water I drink
That's why you're necessary to me, baby
(You are necessary) no one would change my mind
How I feel about you (you are necessary)
Oh, oh
(You are necessary) I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
(You are necessary) you are, you are, you are
(You are necessary) I know you are necessary
(You are necessary) I know, I know that you are necessary
In my life, every day and night
(You are necessary) you are
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
You are
(And my dear, you must be forever... In my life)
