All in Me
Brandy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can think of me
When your hope is gone
You can think of me
To get through anything
You can think of me
I'm here as long as you need me
When nothing seems to work
Your heart is on a search
Let it come to me
I'll make it all reverse
When you think of me
Baby you can see new life through me
[Chorus]
Let me be the reason you get through the day
Know that I'll make everything ok
Think of me baby in any way
I'll be all you need
Let me be the one you turn to when there's pain
Baby I will take it all away
Hide in me, I'll be your secret place
'Cause it's all in me
When it seems no one loves
You can count on me
When pain is all too much
You can count on me
Need someone to trust
You can count on me
I'm here as long as you need me
When you see brighter days
Know that it was me
Tears are wiped away
Don't guess it, it was me
When you realize your pain
Was suffered too by me
Then you know the love in me
[Chorus]
2-Step
Anything you could ever need
Baby I promise you can find in me
Don't matter if it's a hope or dream
I promise I'll make it a reality
Never really do much for you
Anything that's possible, I will do
Make it all so clear to you
Me loving you is more than true
Anything you could ever need
Baby I promise you can find in me
Don't matter if it's a hope or dream
I promise I'll make it a reality
Never really do much for you
Anything that's possible, I will do
Make it all so clear to you
Me loving you is more than true
Everyday, every night
Break of dawn
Air of night
Come to me
I'll make it right
If you let me
It's all in me
Everyday, every night
Break of dawn
Air of night
Come to me
I'll make it right
If you let me
It's all in me
[Chorus]
