Lyrics
'Cause there's a great singer by the name of Roberta Flack
That you brought to the limelight
Well, the thing that started about Roberta
For years when I go to Washington
The guy that owned the club there, a very good friend of mine
Tony Taylor, would say, "You gotta get this girl, Roberta"
And you know, you hear this everywhere you go, but Tony's been
I said, "Well, you know," and then he kept telling me
So finally, one day I came into Washington, we had to work there
And I came in two days early and she was giving a concert
And that was it
I went back and got all my tape and equipment, and recorded her myself
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
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
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-betweens come what may
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
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 go deep it goes if it's real
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-betweens come what may
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
All the way
She's jazz sometimes, other times she's gospel
She's music, she is music
And all those things I was talking about before
About feeling and communication
She has it all
And it just happens
When you are trying to do all these things
Which a lot of people are doing, and trying to do
But maybe are not as equipped as someone like Roberta
And who has a beautiful voice and when you hear it, man
You're just ready to, whatever she says
Say "Hey, I'm with you, baby," you know
