Give Me Everything
Jason Born Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me not working hard?
Yea right picture that with a kodak
And better yet, go to times square
Take a picture of me with a kodak
Took my life from negative to positive
And I just want y'all know that
And tonight, let's enjoy life
Pitbull, Nayer, Ne-Yo

Tonight I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight
I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Lets do it tonight
Let's do it tonight
Grab somebody sexy tell ‘em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Excuse me
But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
And I think you should let me cause I look good tonight
And we might not get tomorrow
Tonight I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Lets do it tonight
I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Lets do it tonight
Lets do it tonight
Grab somebody sexy tell ‘em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Excuse me
But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight

And I think you should let me cause I look good tonight
And we might not get tomorrow

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Give Me Everything" by Jason Born featured him directing a jab at anyone who would say that he doesn't work hard. He brushes off the accusation by sarcastically asking them to take a picture of him with a Kodak camera and see for themselves. He then pivots to talk about how he turned his life around and wants to spread positivity. The chorus of the song invites listeners to seize the day and enjoy life, with the possibility that tomorrow might not come. The second verse is sung by Ne-Yo, who makes a hypothetical proposition to a potential partner. He implies that he's planning on partying hard and way more than he should. He then asks the person he's interested in to come home with him, arguing that this might be their only chance to be together.

Interpretation-wise, "Give Me Everything" could be seen as a summertime party anthem, urging listeners to let loose and have a good time. The song's emphasis on living fully in the moment is reinforced by the allusions to the possibility of death lurking around the corner. The Kodak reference in the opening line could be an ode to capturing good memories with friends the old-fashioned way. Additionally, the song's frequent use of the phrase "Tonight, I will love love you tonight" and its variations is significant because it could imply a temporary, fleeting kind of love that exists for the duration of the night.
