All I Want
Brent Faiyaz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, I don't really care where you've been
But wherever you go, save a place for me
I'll be by your side, 'cause you're made for me
And I can't be alone

She said, I don't really care 'bout your friends
But when you leave the house, save a space for me
I'mma be around 'cause we're made to be

And I can't be alone

Those are crazy things
Can't believe we're here again
Lovers or friends?
That all depends on ya, so deep
Love ya so deep

And baby, did I forget to mention?
That you have all my attention, baby
Come and kick it, baby?

(All I want) You swore you'd tell me that it's mine
And let me get you back
(All I want) Is for you to know you look divine
Standing here beside me

She said, I don't give a damn how you been
I only care to know what you're going through
I'mma be around 'cause I'm made for you
This ain't just for show

She said, I ain't got no time for the fence
I'm always making time for the things you
I'mma stick around 'cause it's just us two
And I'll let that be known

I don't care to play
I'm just glad you're here today
I made a move
Now you can choose what you're gon' do
You play it so cool

And baby, did I forget to mention?
That you got all my attention, baby
Come and kick it, baby?

(All I want) You swore you'd tell me that it's mine
And let me get you back

(All I want) Is for you to know you look divine
Standing here beside me
