All I Have
J-lo feat LL Cool J Lyrics

Love is life and life is living
Love is an essential part of life and makes it worth living.

It's very special
Love is an extraordinary feeling that is unique and exceptional.

All my love
The person declaring their love is giving their utmost affection.

It's such a shame, but I'm leaving
The artist feels regretful but is leaving the relationship due to the other person's mistreatment.

Can't take the way you mistreated me
The artist has reached a breaking point due to the other person's mistreatment and can no longer tolerate it.

And it's crazy, but oh, baby
Despite the singer's decision to leave, they still have feelings for the other person that complicate their emotions.

It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me
The singer is resolute in their decision to leave and is unaffected by the other person's behaviour and reaction.

I don't believe you wanna leave like this
The other person is trying to deny or prevent the artist from leaving the relationship.

I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
The artist is in disbelief that the relationship has ended and that the last kiss they shared was the final one.

I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
The artist believes that they will eventually look back on their relationship and have fond memories together.

Wait a minute, don't bounce, baby let's talk about this, man
The singer wants the other person to delay their departure and have a discussion about their relationship.

Well, I'm bouncing and I'm out, son
The other person has decided to leave and is resolute in their decision.

I gotta leave you alone
The singer has to remove themselves from the relationship to focus on their own priorities and happiness.

All my pride is all I have
The singer's dignity and self-respect are the only things they have left.

(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)
The other person thinks that the singer should prioritize their relationship over their pride and stay with them.

You'll be needing me, but too bad
The artist acknowledges that the other person will miss them, but it's too late to change their mind.

(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)
The other person should not make impulsive decisions out of anger or frustration.

The path you chose to run alone
The other person has decided to go their own way and pursue their own goals and desires alone.

(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)
The singer acknowledges the other person's independence and self-sufficiency.

Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
The artist's company and love provided a sense of belonging and comfort for the other person.

(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)
The artist urges the other person to not waste time being alone and to seek companionship and love.

The nights I waited up for you (oh, boy)
The artist has spent sleepless nights waiting for the other person to come home or spend time with them.

Promises you made about coming through
The other person made commitments to show up or do something but did not follow through.

So much time you wasted
The artist feels that there was a lot of time spent on the relationship that was ultimately wasted due to the other person's actions.

That's why I had to replace you
The singer has found someone else to replace the other person in their life due to their mistreatment and broken promises.

It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down
The other person is afraid of commitment and the idea of being in a long-term relationship.

Especially me, I was creeping all over town
The singer has cheated on the other person and was unfaithful by seeing other people.

I thought my tender touch could lock you down
The artist believed that their affection and kindness would be enough to keep the other person in the relationship.

I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
The artist was confident that they had the other person's love and loyalty, despite their unfaithfulness and mistreatment.

The way you used to giggle right before I put it down
The other person used to laugh and enjoy the singer's touch, indicating sexual intimacy.

It's better when you angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here
The singer believes that sexual activity is more passionate and enjoyable when the other person is angry or upset.

Stop playing you gamin'
The artist wants the other person to stop pretending or playing games in the relationship.

(now you know you need to stop)
The artist is urging the other person to acknowledge their behaviour and change it.

And there's no more to explain to me, you know
The artist does not want any further explanation from the other person as to why they mistreated them or why the relationship is ending.

You love me, I'm like your homey
The singer is important to the other person like a best friend or confidant.

Instead of beef you come hold me
The artist wants the other person to express their affection physically rather than fight or argue.

I promise I'm not a phony
The singer reassures the other person that their love and affection is genuine and not fake.

Ain't nothing you can say to me that can change my mind
The singer is resolute in their decision to leave the relationship and cannot be convinced otherwise.

I gotta let you go now
The singer has to release the other person from the relationship and move on.

And nothing will ever be the same, so just be on your way
The artist acknowledges that the relationship is over and that things can never go back to the way they were before, so the other person should move on.

Go ahead and do your thing now
The other person should move forward and pursue their own interests without the artist.

So I'm bouncing and I'm out, son
The singer is leaving the relationship decisively and resolutely.

People make mistakes to make up, to break up
Mistakes are a common occurrence in relationships and can either be resolved or lead to a breakup.

To wake up cold and lonely, chill, baby, you know me
The artist is reassuring the other person that they won't be alone or unhappy without them, and that they know each other well enough to move on.

(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)
The artist reiterates that time is valuable and that the other person should not waste it being alone and unhappy.

You know what I'm sayin'
The artist is asking the other person if they understand and agree with what they are saying.
