lyrics

A banana-colored woman
An orange cadillac
And a pea green suit
And a pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Well maybe you can lend me a good woman
I’ll pay you back when my ship comes in
Any pain to get my out of the ghetto
If you’re really a true friend
That’s all I need
That’s all I need

Just one step above the ghetto
Just enough to get by
I’ll pay you back by and by
I don’t need much
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need

And you know what
If you get my mother out of the projects
And get my dad out of the steel mill
That would really make me happy
And you don’t know how good that’ll make me feel
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need

I don’t need much
Just enough to get by
Just one step above poverty
Just enough to survive
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
I don’t need much
That’s all I need

He wrote songs for, or produced folks Ike Turner, Parliament/Funkadelic, Edwin Starr and Stevie Wonder. ... more
