Love 'Em All
K. Michelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I touch, but it ain't real
They say I move too fast
Going man to man
Always holding a new hand
Why can't they understand
Sex is irrelevant
Just a game in my head,
Oh I broke another heart today
Oh and I didn't care I just walked away
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
They all wait for my call
They all want me to fall
All these men, they're a mess
Want me like the rest
I'm continuing not giving my best
Why can't they understand
Sex is irrelevant
Just a game in my head,
I'm playing and I'm winning
Oh oh I broke another heart today
Oh oh and I didn't care I just walked away
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
Maybe one day I'll settle down
But for now
I'll just play around
And I'll make them feel good
That's how I get 'em
Making all feel special
Then I'll forget 'em
So I won't hurt
I keep a lot of them
And I love them all
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
'Cause they think I love 'em
But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah
I need another one to get over the other one
Another one, ye-yeah
In K. Michelle's song Love 'Em All, the artist delves into the concept of love and relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer is quite guarded when it comes to love and opts to engage in casual relationships instead. She seems to toy with men and their emotions without any regard for their feelings when she is done playing. The song is an anthem for those who are not ready for commitment and understand that love is a game that can have many consequences.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "But I love 'em all" which can be interpreted as the singer's desire to be loved and wanted by all. She admits to needing another person to get over the previous one, and this could highlight the constant cycle this individual is in, always seeking a new partner to fill the void. Whether this is due to fear of commitment or fear of truly loving someone, K. Michelle leaves open to interpretation. Nonetheless, she makes it clear in the song that her love life is her own business and that people should understand that sex is a game in her head.
Overall, the song presents a facade of an independent woman who enjoys playing coy with men, but it could also be a reflection of the complexities and fears underlying people's desire to never stay in one place, especially when it comes to love.
