All I Want
Gabrielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Gabrielle/Julian Gallaghar)

Diamond rings I got it
Got everything I need
Everything that pleases me
But what I don't have, you got it
I see in you
I do what I gotta

Chorus
All I want, all I need
I want you to say you love me
I'm wanting to be your baby
You're all I want
You're all I need
The truth is you'll never love me
But it still doesn't stop me
From wishing I was your lady, be my everything

Platinum cards get me what I want
But I can't buy you
They say that money can't buy love
I wish that it could
I know that I would
Pay the highest price
To have you in my life





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The song "All I Want" by Gabrielle explores the theme of unrequited love. The opening lines of the song talk about how the singer has everything she desires, such as diamond rings and material possessions. Despite having all the things she wants, there's one thing that she doesn't have - the love of the person she desires. The person she loves is the only thing that she wants, and all her material possessions pale in comparison to what this person means to her.


The chorus clearly highlights the central theme of the song - the singer's desire for the love of the person she desires. She wants him to say that he loves her and dreams of becoming his "baby." She admits to the fact that the object of her affection "will never love" her, but it "doesn't stop" her from wishing that she could be his lady and that he could be her everything.


The second verse of the song reveals that the singer is aware that money can't buy love, even though she has platinum cards that get her everything she desires. She wishes that money could buy love and that she could pay the highest price to have the person she loves in her life. However, she knows that even with all her wealth, she can never buy the love that she desires.
