All Of Me For All Of You
9.9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I can't give you all of me
Not the half of you

All of you for all of me
That's the way it's got to be
I won't give you all of me
Not the half of you

This is the beginning of a love of us
We're holding, squeezing, talking that our love is tough
I need you, want you more than anyone should be
I long to be more than anything

Bring to me the same thing I bring
And, oh, find the way, one more thing
It's

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I can't give you all of me
Not the half of you

All of you for all of me
That's the way it's got to be
I won't give you all of me
Not the half of you

This is the beginning of a me and you
Kissing, kissing, kissing, baby, I love you's
Hugging, hugging, baby, no-one else will do's
I'm your baby as long as you're my baby too

Let's make this an adventure, not a trip
I mean I don't love some love that ain't been a love

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I can't give you all of me
Not the half of you

I'm bringing you a woman (Nothing less will do)
Bring me your man, heyey
I'm bringing you a woman (Nothing less will do)
Give me your heart!

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I can't give you all of me
Not the half of you

All of you for all of me
That's the way it's got to be
I won't give you all of me
Not the half of you

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I love you more than I did yesterday
You get the lovin' each and every day

All of me for all of you
Nothing less will ever do
I give you lovin', all for you
Can this real love ever come right over you

All of me for all of you (That's what you got to)
Nothing less will ever do (Mmm)
I can't give you all of me
Not the half of you

All of you for all of me (I want all of you)
That's the way it's got to be (It's gotta be)
I won't give you all of me
Not the half of you
Not the half of you, wooohooo

All of me for all of you (Give me all of you)




Nothing less will ever do
I can't give you all of me

Overall Meaning

The song "All of Me for All of You" by 9.9 is a love song that expresses the desire for complete commitment and reciprocity in a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of wholeness and completeness that can only be achieved by giving all of oneself to the other person, and vice versa. The singer explains that nothing less than total devotion and love will suffice, emphasizing that they cannot give just half of themselves while expecting the other person to give all of themselves.


The chorus "All of me for all of you, nothing less will ever do" highlights the importance of the two people in a relationship being fully and completely committed to each other. The singer's desire for her partner to bring the same level of commitment and love is exemplified in the lines "bring to me the same thing I bring" and "I'm bringing you a woman, bring me your man."


The song's verses describe the beginning of a relationship, the adventures that lie ahead, and the singer’s conviction that they belong together. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reinforces the idea that true love is all-encompassing and that giving anything less than all of oneself is not enough.

The rush to the dance floor. The power. Electricity. High energy. Loved it. Need a place that we can experience this again. Miss the 80's.
