Ben Haenow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you will begin or perform?
You get to thinking I will lead astray
But baby you couldn't be more wrong
They say these bright lights will make you blind
But all I see is you all the time
The thing is all this is for you and me
All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me
I'm all yours, oho
I heard their poison, they're telling you lies
You act like I'm already gone
I heard them say it's just a matter of time
Someday I'll be moving on
If all these bright lights would change my mind
But all I know is you, you and I
The thing is all this is for you and me
I'm all yours
All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me
I'm all yours, oho
So hold on, hold on
No I won't live without you
Oh no, no I won't even try
Take my hand, take my love
See the world goes on
I'm all yours, oho
So take these shackles away from me
You all that's even???
I know that I'll only turn back on to you
The thing is all this is for you and me
I'm all yours
All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me
I'm all yours, oho
So hold on, hold on
No I won't live without you
Oh no, no I won't even try
Take my hand, take my love
See the world goes on
I'm all yours, oho

The chorus repeats throughout the song, which expresses Ben’s dedication to his partner by saying that he's all hers, and she will always have him no matter what.
In conclusion, Ben Haenow's song "All Yours" is about the artist's undying love and devotion towards his partner. The song's theme explores how true love can endure any temptation and trial and that the love shared between them is strong enough to withstand anything.

Yeah I've been careless since I've been away
I haven't been paying enough attention to you since I left
Now you will begin or perform?
Do you want to start something or continue with what we have?
You get to thinking I will lead astray
You believe I will cheat on you
But baby you couldn't be more wrong
You are mistaken, I will always be faithful
They say these bright lights will make you blind
People say fame and success can cause people to lose sight of what's important
But all I see is you all the time
But I always see you, no matter what
The thing is all this is for you and me
Everything I do is for us
I'm all yours
I belong to you completely
All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me
I appreciate all the effort and emotions you put into our relationship
I heard their poison, they're telling you lies
I know people are spreading rumors and lies about me
You act like I'm already gone
You're treating me as if I've already left you
I heard them say it's just a matter of time
They believe our relationship won't last
Someday I'll be moving on
They think I will leave you eventually
If all these bright lights would change my mind
If fame and success would make me think differently
But all I know is you, you and I
But I only care about you and our relationship
No I won't live without you
I can't imagine life without you

You're everything I need
I know that I'll only turn back on to you
I know that I will always come back to you
So hold on, hold on
Just hold on a little longer
I'm all yours, oho
I belong to you completely
