Lyrics

[Intro] 'Cause there's a great singer by the name of Roberta Flack That-that you brought to the limelight Well, the thing is, the story about Roberta, uh For years when I'd, when I'd go to Washington The guy that owned the club there, a very good friend of mine Told me, Tony would say, "You gotta get this girl, Roberta" And you know, you hear this everywhere you go, but Tony's a little– I said, "Well, you know," and then he kept telling me So finally I came into Washington, we had to work thеn, I came in two days early And she was giving a concеrt, and whew, that was it I went back and got all my taping equipment Recorded her myself [Verse 1] When somebody needs you It's no good unless he needs you All the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you All the way [Refrain] Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel And deeper than the deep blue sea is That's how deep it goes if it's real [Verse 2] When somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you All the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in-between years Come what may [Chorus] Who knows where the road will lead us? Only a fool would say But if you let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you All the way [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel And deeper than the deep blue sea is That's how deep it goes if it's real [Verse 3] And when somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you All the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in-between years Come what may [Chorus] Who knows where the road will lead us? Only a fool would say Hm, but if you let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you All the way [Outro] All the way [Spoken Outro] She's music, she is music, she is And all those things I was talking about before, about feeling and communication, she has it all And it's, it's, just happens when you are trying to do all these things Which a lot of people are doing, and trying to do But maybe I'm not as equipped as someone like Roberta, you know, who has a beautiful voice And when you hear it, man, you're just ready to do whatever she says You say, "Hey, I'm with you, baby," you know
