Dominic Balli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my lovin' take all of me
Take my lovin' take all take all of me
Take my love take my love
Take my sweet sweet love
'Till I got no love to give
All my love all my love
'Till I got no love to give
I knew I was in trouble when I seen her 'pon the dance floor
She captivate my heart with just a single glance her
Eyes of chocolate were holding me for ransom
A sweet surrender of my love and my romancin'
I knew she was the one when she stole all of my lovin'
And so I rolled up on the floor and I said
Well you could prolly guess what happened next I finally caught her
She took my heart and we departed to the altar
A love for sure need nothing more than what we started
Eternal bliss and Heaven's blessing took us farther
She knew I was the one when I stole all of her lovin'
You better believe it rocked my world when she said
All my lovin' all my lovin' all my lovin' all my love
Take my love take my love take my love
Dominic Balli's lyrics in "Take My Love" express a desire to give all of himself to someone he loves. He asks for them to take all of his love, until he has nothing more to give. The song begins with Balli admitting that he knew he was in trouble as soon as he saw the woman on the dance floor. She captured his heart with just one look, and he was willing to surrender all of his love and romance to her. She became the one he loved so much that he wanted to give her everything he had.
The second verse reveals that they eventually got married, and their love only grew stronger. He acknowledges that they didn't need anything else to be happy, just the love they had for each other. She knew he was the one for her when he gave all of his love to her, and he felt the same way when she reciprocated it.
Overall, the song is an expression of complete devotion and surrender to someone you love. It's a beautiful sentiment and one that many people can relate to.
