Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That a woman is a man's greatest gift
Sure you're right
And success ain't nothin unless you have someone to share it with
Mmm, so true, so true
Not having someone other than yourself to share it with it is, uhh
Sho', you're right
Quite sad
In my case, I may have found someone (mmm)
I want, all, of that someone
Yeah, I know what you mean
Well I'll tell you my friend
Just, communicate with her
And always say what you mean and mean what you say
Because, it's her that you want all of me
Aoww
Come here baby
Come bring ALL of you to me
When I say I want all of you
I mean I want all of you from your head to your feet (mmm)
I wanna taste everything from your lipstick to your toenail polish
Come here Kane brother
I want you I want you
I want to hold you, I want to massage you
I want to comfort you, I want to sooth you (mmm)
You know the way you're standin' still there
I just wanna lay on the floor and make love to your shadow
(A-heh) Sounds silly don't it?
Not really
But for real, let me come on over there
Run my fingers through your hair
Hold your Nair, and undo that brassiere
My dear
Daddy Kane
Because tonight girl, all of me wants, all of you
Oh,
Me, all of me,
Wants all of you
Let's start tonight, I know you're right
Over and over and over
Let's do it now, you show me how
Over and over and over again
Oh I can tell you're serious aren't you?
I'm glad to see that you feelin', this way
That there's somebody in this world that
Make you want to give up that kind of commitment
Love is such a beautiful thing when it's, equally shared
Tell em Maestro
When two people, find the same common ground
They call it, having, so much in common
Making love is one of things that people, these days
Seem to find too common
Communicate B.W
Sho' you right
So I want you to know, that I really feel
That you gonna make it all the way with this young lady
You got my love, my respect
You're bad young man, you're bad
Me, all of me
Ooh baby, mmm
Wants all of you
All of you
Let's start tonight, I know you're right
Oh, yeah
Over and over and over

Can we do this?
Over and over and over again
And over and over and over and over

Wants all of you

Mmm, sho' you right
Over and over and over

Please. Never let this video come off youtube. Barry White crushed this song!!! OMG I am getting goose bumps just listening to this song. Never let this video leave youtube...please
@fairnorth
Barry White was the man! I used to play this song all of the time on a juke box in a bar I used to visit. Although it seems forgotten by time, it's still one of my Barry White favorites!
@obi387
I blame my father for my love of Barry White's music! I'm 42 years old and I've been hearing Barry's voice in my head and soul whilst I was still in my mothers womb! I secretly know how I was conceived, I just don't say anything to my parents out of respect! I'll be taking this legend's voice with me to the grave!
@ColumRogers
Everything Barry White did was amazing. The power and the energy of voice is just incredible, RIP big guy you are forever loved! x
@hardlines4
Radio stations should be ashamed of themselves not playing this classic!!!
