All Night
Damian and Stephen Marley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all right

Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right (all right)
Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right

Now she call me on the phone and said she's home alone
And she want me to come over and her house a home
Well I gave it to her once
And I liked how she responds
Well now i'm in trouble
Yeah

Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right (all right)
Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right

It seems she needs to oil her spine
Tell all a gyal toast bread can't build di putty gold mine
Need all di doctor to fish with di essential slime
She tell me she want signal di plane n' time me want slow wine
Turn on di HBO she want fi watch Showtime
Give her di cordless microphone, she want di one with line
Seem like me and young gyal ya just can't combine
So it's sour like lime
Running it down the line Mr. Muffin one timr

Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right (all right)
Said she wants my loving all night
And when she get it, she'll be all right

She call mi pon di I-95
How mi ah tek so long she ah wonder which car mi drive
Tired fi listen album now and she want me live
Tell me she want mi fi come knock her out till she can't revive
SO!...Ah so mi planet and di stars align
She tell me she want me know which part her hills and valley dem join
Seh she want me ride her like a Ferrari sign
Put appointment aside
Nothing can't compromise
Fi di vibes I provide
BIM!

She wants my loving all night
When she get it, she all right
She wants my loving all night

I shouldn't make no physical contact, tell her fi hold down and still she just can't quiet
Seh mi tek her up and tun her inna $@# maniac
Telling me dat I compliment her natural habitat
Well, it seem like she deaf or she blind
Want come step inna mi life when time she deh far behind
Want mi play her rhythm till di tape want rewind
And she nah watch no time




And she just nah resign till she see the sunshine
OK!

Overall Meaning

The song "All Night" by Damian and Stephen Marley is about a woman who wants the singer's love and attention all night long. She calls him on the phone and asks him to come over to her house because she's alone and wants him there with her. The singer has already been with her once, and now he feels like he's in trouble because she wants him to stay with her longer.


Throughout the song, there are multiple references to the woman's desire for physical affection, with lines like "seems she needs to oil her spine" and "she wants me to come knock her out till she can't revive." The woman even calls the singer on the highway to find out where he is and why he's taking so long. Despite this, the singer still seems to have some reservations about being with her all night, referring to their relationship as "sour like lime" at one point.


Overall, "All Night" seems to be a cautionary tale about giving in to someone's desires too easily and too quickly. The singer is wary of the woman's intensity and seems to be struggling to maintain boundaries with her, even as he continues to give in to her requests.
