You Are Everything I Need

If You go, I'll break up inside 'Cause I know I know how much I've cried And I'm sure My heart will die If You say goodbye, 'cause Chorus: You are My dream You're the only One I need You are My life You are My soul You're all that's right I know that I won't love again I'll kiss goodbye and bear the pain Knowing love has passed Me by Wondering why when Repeat Chorus You are My dream You're the only One I need You are My life You are My soul You are everything I need

In the morning when everything's right And I'm warmed by the sunshine and light I don't care if I never see Mary again It don't matter to me there and then But when the day is done and I'm riding low And I'm wondering where Mary will go I don't care if I never see daylight again I want Mary and all that she's been And I wonder if she's wanting me Oh, I wonder if she wakes up feeling good like I do It's easy to live in the day But the nighttime brings Mary and it won't go away Chorus: And I've found that the longer she's gone And (Now) I'm dreading the daylight and dawn I'm afraid that I'll never see Mary again But it won't matter Cause my life will end if I never see Mary again Repeat Chorus

I don't know why I love like I do I don't know why I can't get away from you Maybe it's the way you kiss Maybe it's the way you love Maybe it's the way you play with soul Chorus: I don't know why I have believed your lies I don't know why You've got me hypnotized Baby, it's a crying shame To you, love is just, just a game Well, I've got this craven need for your love I don't know why You made a man from a boy And you watched me grow How can you destroy Every dream I'll ever know? I don't know I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I'll never get over you Maybe it's the way you kiss me Maybe it's the way you love me Maybe it's the way you play with soul Repeat Chorus

Loving Woman 04:26
The way you look can drive a man crazy Your knowing smile can get you great things A kiss from you and my life gets hazy You make a man forget there was ever anyone but you, but Chorus 1: I need a loving woman Not just a thing for just one night I need a loving woman One that satisfies just one man If I don't show I know you miss me But one drink later you'll find someone new And as you talk to him you'll touch him And just like me He'll never forget the things you do, but Chorus 2: I need a loving woman Someone to trust and understand I need a loving woman One that satisfies just one man I can understand your restless feelings You'd do anything to not be lonely But how can I believe I'd change you Could you forget There ever was anyone but me Repeat Choruses 2 and 1

Yesterday when he came here Willie's eyes swept the floor And he looked so brought down And he asked if I'd seen you around I said no and I showed him to the door But he knows the score, he knows it Chorus: And we can't hide it anymore We can't hide it anymore We can't hide We can't hide it anymore We can't hide, no, no, no, no, no And in the morning you're beside me And we smile as lovers do But his whole world is breaking up And all your time I'm taking up And I've been spending every night with you And he knows it too, he knows it Repeat Chorus Last night you called me on the telephone Said you felt like you were being torn apart I know it's not easy, babe But we knew that from the start Now we're in love and it's bound to break his heart Bound to break his heart So what do we tell him What do we say Now you're the one he loves and trusts And you've turned his dreams right into dust Like the wind we've blown them all away And he knows today, he knows it Repeat Chorus and fade

Love will abide Take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one at my side And time washes clean Love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me But I don't know what it means Chorus: Oh, (Cause) I've done everything I know To try and make you mine But I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you trust me When you never let me near And I never received One response from you All the while you fell Over guys you never knew Repeat Chorus Wait for the day You'll go away Knowing that you want me And the price I'd have to pay And life's full of loss No one knows the cost Living in the memory Of a love that never was Oh, I've done everything I know To try and change your mind But I think I'm gonna love you For a long long time Repeat Chorus
7.
Chorus: I long to touch You like the rising sun Early in the morning Early in the morning I want to feel Your warmness by My side Early in the morning Early in the morning So come and lay by Me and stay by Me Don't be afraid to open up Your love and let Me in Let Me in I've needed One like You to love Me too Early in the morning Early in the morning I want to be where You are I want to see You as You are I've needed One like You to love Me too Early in the morning Early in the morning Repeat Chorus Early in the morning, early in the morning Early in the morning, early in the morning

Mountains high Rivers flowing Skies of blue beckon to Me Restless soul Keep on going Spending life being free, being free Chorus: (Well) And I can't get You off My mind No matter what I do I just can't get You off My mind I turn around and there You are You're everywhere I go; You're every One that I know You're everything I see I don't know what's happening to Me What's happening to Me Well, it's a perfect day The sun is shining I wish that You could share it with Me Each night I dream I start crying Can't You hear Me call out Your name? I call out Your Name Repeat Chorus And I can't get You off My mind No matter what I do I just can't get You off My mind No matter how I try I just can't get You off My mind I turn around and there You are I just can't get You off My mind No matter what I do I just can't get You off My mind

Here I am again in this empty room All alone Can you meet me tonight Can you come for a while Cause my thoughts are driving me crazy again I just got to hold you tight Will you meet me? Come on meet me, baby, meet me, meet me tonight I just can't believe That I'm caught up in this web of intrigue It isn't fair Say you'll meet me tonight Well, it hurts my pride, cause you're there by his side When I want you to be here with me Say you'll meet me tonight I don't care if it's wrong or right Will you meet me? Come on meet me, meet me tonight Baby, please come to me Cause I need you so desperately Baby, meet me tonight Baby, meet me tonight Baby, baby, meet me tonight Say you'll meet me tonight You know I'm a slave to this telephone You know I'm always alone We can go away anywhere you say My heart is heavy like stone Baby, make your move Baby, do it soon Cause you know you're driving me crazy again Will you meet me tonight? I just got to hold you tight. Baby, meet me I said meet me, come on meet me tonight Oh, baby, will you meet me tonight? Baby, will you meet me tonight? Oh, meet me Will you meet me tonight? Come to meet me I need you, want you, love you. Will you meet me tonight?

about

This is one of the missing popular albums of 1976, produced by the late Detroit soul producer Don Davis.

“You Are Everything I Need” is the fifth album by American soft pop singer/songwriter/pianist Larry Santos, produced by Detroit soul producer Don Davis.

As Rate Your Music once said:

It’s a shame that a crazy hard funk album by Funkadelic, called, “Hardcore Jollies” ruined Larry Santos' 1976 pop album, “You Are Everything I Need” produced by Don Davis and it made his pop album go down the drain when there is nothing good to listen to.

As soulwalking.co.uk once said:

Now here is an odd one. If you were digging around, in a second hand store, you would, probably, on the surface, give this one a wide birth. Some weird guy from the seventies, looking like Dave Lee Travis lying on a bed with his missus? Well they WERE the seventies, when men were men and weren’t afraid to let their ‘love-handles’ hang out in public! Well, all I can say is, this album contains one of my favorite moments from the seventies. When I heard Robbie Vincent play ‘We Can’t Hide It Anymore’ one Saturday lunchtime, I looked for years and, eventually, found this gem. Santos’s vocals compliment the beautiful melody which is enhanced by some weird synthesized effects to create a moment of sweet soul magic. Fine, fine stuff.

His best well-known tracks are:

Long, Long Time
I Don’t Know Why
