The Greatest Love Of All
Glenn Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say if I was your boyfriend
And your boyfriend was me
He would be so secure
He wouldn't have to compete
Maybe I'm just that fly
That he thinks that you'll leave
'Cause as pretty as you are
You deserve finer things

Don't he know when you carry gold
You can't toss it around like it's silver
You never see it glitter
And so just let him know
That someone like me is around the corner
Waiting my turn just to deliver

[Chorus]
All my love as your heart is tender
And soft as a whisper
Wanna give you all , all my heart
'Cause your heart is tender
And soft as a whisper

If I was your girlfriend
And your girlfriend was me
You wouldn't want no other
'Cause I'd be all you need
With your love like a candle
Hold you down like a queen
Be the beat to my name
If you know what I mean

Boy you know that my heart is gold
So don't play around like it's some silver
You say you can't deliver
If you should go
There's some other G right round the corner
Waiting his turn if you don't wanna

[Chorus: x2]
All my love as your heart is tender
And soft as a whisper
Wanna give you all , all my heart
'Cause your heart is tender
And soft as a whisper

In Glenn Lewis's song, "All My Love," the lyrics speak to a man who is interested in a woman who is already in a relationship. The opening lyrics are "Say if I was your boyfriend and your boyfriend was me, he would be so secure he wouldn't have to compete" indicating that the man thinks he could treat the woman better than her current boyfriend. He believes that he is worthy of her attention and loyalty, and if he were in her boyfriend's position, he wouldn't have to worry about her leaving him.


The chorus is a declaration of the man's affection for the woman. He speaks to her heart, telling her that it's tender and soft like a whisper. He wants to give her all of his love because she deserves it, and he believes that he can be the one to make her happy. The final lyrics indicate that if the woman's boyfriend is unable to appreciate her and make her happy, the man is waiting in the wings to be her next love interest.


Overall, the lyrics are emotionally charged with the man offering his love to the woman he desires. He is confident that he can provide the affection and loyalty that she deserves. However, he also recognizes that the woman is not a prize to be won but a valuable partner who requires respect and devotion.
