All Your Love
Sara K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A pretty face too hard to mention now
A needy little lady took a gamblin′ man
Had to place her bet before the horse came in
All your love turned to passion
All your love...
Bought a lean machine for survival
Shot a champion clean from the saddle
Joker jumpin' over the king and the queen
That′s a way of gettin' even when the odds are green, green, green
And all your love turned to passion
All your love...
You took a little love, you took a little love
You took a little too much from me
You took a little love, you took a little love
You took a little too much from me
Too much from me, too much from me, babe
You watch 'em every night while they′re dancin′
Check 'em in that light romancin′
You never call 'em over or call ′em by their name
No, you call 'em what you wanna
′Cause it's all the same, same, same
And all your love turned to passion
All your love...
You took a little love, you took a little love
You took a little too much from me
You took a little love, you took a little love
You took a little too much from me
Too much from me, too much from me, babe
The lyrics to Sara K.'s song "All Your Love" depict a complex relationship between two people in which one person's love turns into an obsession with winning and overcoming odds. The first verse mentions a "busted frame on a myth and a legend" and a "pretty face too hard to mention," possibly referring to a famous person who the singer or protagonist admires. However, this admiration is turned on its head with the mention of a "needy little lady" who takes a "gamblin' man" and has to place her bet before the horse comes in. This suggests that the singer is willing to take risks and make impulsive decisions for the sake of love, even if they might not pay out in the end. The chorus repeats the phrase "all your love turned to passion," suggesting that the singer's love has become more intense and possibly dangerous.
The second verse brings in imagery of violence and competition with lines like "bought a lean machine for survival" and "shot a champion clean from the saddle." This suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to win, even if it means taking down those who are better or more established. The mention of a "joker jumpin' over the king and the queen" adds a level of unpredictability and risk-taking to the character. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the idea of passion and intensity.
The third verse shifts to a voyeuristic perspective, with the singer watching others dance and "check 'em in that light romancin'." The singer does not interact with these people directly, instead referring to them as "what you wanna" rather than by their names. This emphasizes the idea of objectification and a lack of emotional connection in the relationship. The chorus is repeated one final time, with the addition of the line, "you took a little too much from me," suggesting that the singer's intensity and obsession has become harmful to the other person in the relationship.

Too much from me, too much from me, babe
You took an excessive amount from me and it hurts
