All I Want Is You
Jacqueline Govaert Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You just broke
The rules I set
How could you
Forget

No you just broke my heart in two
I feel torn apart so cruel
Now what am I supposed to do

All I want is you

I baked you cakes
Your favorite kind
With chocolate chips
Home-made apple pie

Still you just broke my heart in two
I feel torn apart so cruel
Now what am I supposed to do
All I want is you

I cut my hear
Just like yours
And 'cause of you
I wear these silly clothes

Still you broke my heart in two
I feel torn apart so cruel

Now what am I supposed to do
All I want is you

She bakes them their favorite cakes and pies, showing that she has put effort into their relationship, but the other person has not reciprocated.

In the second verse, the singer reveals that she has changed herself for the other person, cutting her hair and dressing in a way that pleases them. However, despite her attempts to please them, the other person still broke her heart. The repetition of the phrase "all I want is you" throughout the chorus emphasizes the singer's desperation for this person's love and affection, despite the pain they have caused her.

Line by Line Meaning

You just broke
You broke my heart

The rules I set
My expectations and boundaries in our relationship

How could you
Why did you do this to me?

Forget
Ignore my feelings and needs

No you just broke my heart in two
My heart is shattered into pieces

I feel torn apart so cruel
I am in immense pain and agony

Now what am I supposed to do
I am lost and don't know how to move on

All I want is you
I still love you and want you back

I baked you cakes
I did things to show my love and affection

Your favorite kind
I tried to please you and fulfill your desires

With chocolate chips
I paid attention to your likes and dislikes

Home-made apple pie
I put in effort and time to make things special for you

I cut my hair
I changed my appearance for you

Just like yours
I wanted to be more like you

And 'cause of you
I did these things for your sake

I wear these silly clothes
I did things that may have seemed foolish, but I did them for you
