All She Knows
Bruno Mars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again you're home alone
Tears running from your eyes
And I'm on the outside
Knowing that you're all I want
But I can't do anything
I'm so helpless baby

Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault

She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

You've been livin this way so long
You don't know the difference
And it's killing me
Cause you can have so much more
I'm the one your looking for
But you close your eyes on me
So you still can't see

Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

All she knows is the pain
In the corner of an empty home
She's still comfortable
I want her to know
It can be better than this
I can't pretend
Wish we were more than friends

Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault

She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken




His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bruno Mars's song "All She Knows" tell a story about a woman who has experienced a lot of pain in her life and keeps finding herself in unhealthy relationships. The singer of the song is in love with her but feels helpless as he sees her cry alone at home while he is on the outside unable to do anything. The woman has never had real love before and therefore, she is used to feeling pain. The man is aware that the woman deserves better but she cannot see beyond what she has experienced so far. She can't help but keep going back to the man who is causing her pain.


The repetition of the phrase "all she knows" throughout the song highlights the character's lack of experience with true love, which explains why she keeps going back to a person who causes her pain. She has become accustomed to pain and heartbreak and does not think there is anything beyond it. The singer wishes to show the woman that there is more than this life of pain and that it can be better, but he can't seem to get through to her.


Overall, "All She Knows" is a poignant description of the emotional cycle individuals can get stuck in when they do not know what real love feels like.

I feel very powerless


Everyday same old things
Your daily routine never changes

In the corner of an empty home
Alone in a vacant house


She's still comfortable
You still feel secure


I want her to know
I want to inform you


It can be better than this
Life can be better


I can't pretend
I can't fake it


Wish we were more than friends
I want us to be more than platonic

Una vez que estás solo en casa 
Lágrimas de sus ojos 
Y yo estoy en el exterior 
Sabiendo que tu eres todo lo que quiero 
Pero no puedo hacer nada 
Estoy tan indefenso bebé 

Todos los días las mismas cosas viejas 
Así que para sintiendo dolor 
Nunca había verdadero amor antes de 
Y no es su culpa 

Ella sabe mejor, pero 
No puedo evitarlo 
¿Quieres decirle 
Pero eso sería egoísta 
¿Cómo se puede curar 
Un corazón que no siente, que se ha roto 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe 

Usted ha estado viviendo de esta manera siempre 
Usted no sabe la diferencia 
Y me está matando 
Porque usted puede tener mucho más 
Yo soy el que tu buscas 
Pero cierras los ojos en mí 
Por lo que aún no puede ver 

Todos los días las mismas cosas viejas 
Así que para sintiendo dolor 

Nunca había verdadero amor antes de 
Y no es su culpa 

Ella sabe mejor, pero 
No puedo evitarlo 
¿Quieres decirle 
Pero eso sería egoísta 
¿Cómo se puede curar 
Un corazón que no siente, que se ha roto 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe 

Todo lo que sabe es el dolor 
En la esquina de una casa vacía 
Ella sigue siendo cómodo 
Quiero que ella sepa 
Puede ser mejor que esto 
No puedo pretender 
Desearía que seamos más que amigos 

Ella sabe mejor, pero 
No puedo evitarlo 
¿Quieres decirle 
Pero eso sería egoísta 
¿Cómo se puede curar 
Un corazón que no siente, que se ha roto 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe 
Su amor es todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe, todo lo que sabe :)

Growing up, I've always had this intense crush on Bruno Mars, he is the first man (artist) that made me cry through his song (I remember it was grenade, and I was hiding under the blanket watching grenade and sobbing, that's when I realized that I caught feelings for him), I was a crazed hooligan back then. I was so deep into this man that I used to follow his youngest sister on instagram, comment on there, and watch all his friends and families' social media accounts (creep behavior very wrong even if I was like 10-11), I also watch all their interviews as the smeezingtons and I also used to know the name of his drummer. I have this crush on him and it lasted for 3 years, and then I just fell off when he started to date his now current gf, that was 2012 and I even discovered on the forums that he used to have a relationship with rita ora. So yeah, I've always loved this man and I just stopped when I found out he has a gf, I even stalked his gf on twitter but she went private at that time because of the fans, and after that, I really have no idea how I just fell off hahahaha. I also remember visiting a church for the first time and even praying and wishing that we would get married on that church (because I love the flooring and it has beautiful interior) hahahhahahaha.

I'm 21 now and I met a man identical to him, who is also an amazing musician, we had a thing for 2 years, and just this june we separated, it's a complicated relationship, no label, but I won't be able to deny that he is the love of my life. The universe led me to him. Then, I noticed just recently that he has similarities to bruno mars, they're both new yorkers, libra placements, big dreamy eyes, musicians, and also asian. It's so funny that when you thought the universe forgot, it dawns on you that it will bring back what you thought you lost.

Guys, my whole life I have been looking for the love of my life, I met him, lost him too, did everything I could and fought against fate to keep and uphold what we have, and now I lost him. We had to give up on each other.

Now I'm 21 years old, am reminiscing, and now Bruno Mars is no longer a man that I have romantic feelings for, but a beautiful memory of my past, childhood, a memoir of my innocence, and nostalgia.

Bruno, I lost the love of my life, but I am so so thankful I could still go back to your songs and remind me of who taught me to love first. Thank you Peter Gene Bayot Hernandez. 💕
