Ooh-whoa
Ooh-ooh-ooh

I found my heaven
Through the love of two
One I never knew
Who's lifting me higher
He's everything to me
It didn't take long to see

It's all I need
A reason to carry on
Oh-oh, the simple things
Give me what I need now
Oh-oh, it's all I need

I hear my baby cry
I hold him close to me
Well, I got to believe
That maybe tomorrow
The world will find its peace
And we will be free, yeah, oh...

It's all I need
Yeah, yeah
The reason to carry on
Oh-oh, the simple things
Give me what I need now
And whoa-oh
It's all I need

I've traveled a thousand miles
Since you've come around
(Since you've come around)
I welcome what simple pleasures
Have to offer now
And oh...
It's all I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's all I need
A reason to carry on
And, whoa-whoa-oh-oh...
The simple things
Give me what I need now, and, oh...
It's all I need
(All I need)

It's all I need
Yeah, yeah
A reason to carry on
And, whoa-whoa-oh-oh...
The simple things
Give me what I need now
And, la, la-la-, la-la...

It's all I need
(All I need, and, baby)
It's all I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
