ASHFORD & SIMPSON
"It's You"
(Nick Ashford / Valerie Simpson)

Friends are mystified
But it don't matter to me
I can't take the credit
For what they see

It's you
It's you
Great or small
I owe it all to you and nothing else
I'd just be lying to myself

You persuaded me so gently
You brought me alive
What I thought had died

They think I have some power
Or a secret hidden inside
Like a puzzle and a rhyme
At the same time
To get the answer they've got to go find you

It's you
The specializer is who they want to see
You, it's you
'Cause none of the credit belongs to me

You, sweet inspiration
So grateful for how you brought me
You, time and patience
'Cause only you could have taught me
