All My Love
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh, oh yeah
All alone by the phone
Waiting on you to call on a busy weekend
Tell me have I seen when I stayed around
Around the town waiting on you to tell me what to do
'Cause I'm happy being with you
Touching you, holding you
Is all I really want to do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love
It's just a wish on my mind
Hoping you'd have the time
When I want to see you
For something to hold on to
If love is just a silly game
Then I'm a fool that sang for loving you
Still I feel you don't have nothing to prove
Touching you, holding you
Is all I really want to do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love
Maybe on tomorrow
I can show you years tomorrow
If you let me, baby we'll see
And we can get together
We can try to blend forever holding tightly
Then baby we can do what we want to
Touching you, holding you
Is all I really want to do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love
Touching you, holding you
Is all I really want to do
Day and night I just can't get enough
I want you more, and really need
For you to just believe in me
And I'll be giving you all of my love
The lyrics of Carl Thomas's "Giving You All My Love" express the singer's desire to be close to the person he loves. The opening lines, "I just want to hold you in my arms, oh oh, oh yeah," set the tone for the rest of the song. The feeling conveyed throughout the song is one of longing and yearning for the love of the person he is singing to.
The first verse of the song depicts the singer alone by the phone, waiting for the person he loves to call. He has stayed around town, waiting for their call so he can be with them. He's happy to be with them and all he wants to do is hold them and touch them.
The chorus is a repetition of the lines "Touching you, holding you is all I really want to do. Day and night I just can't get enough. I want you more, and really need for you to just believe in me. And I'll be giving you all of my love." It's clear that the singer wants to not only touch and hold the person he loves but also be trusted by them to give them his all.
The second verse describes the singer hoping for an opportunity to see the person he loves. He sings about wanting something to hold on to and feeling like a fool for loving them. Despite this, he believes that the person he loves has nothing to prove to him.
The bridge of the song is a hopeful expression of what the future could hold if the person he loves gives him the chance. He sings about showing them years tomorrow and blending together forever. He wants them to allow him to hold them tightly and do what they want to do.
Overall, the song expresses the singer's longing for the person he loves and his willingness to give them his all.
