I'll Give All My Love To You
Keith Sweat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you in the night
I'm gonna take it real, real slow (ooh)
I understand what you told me
And if I didn't know

I always wanted someone just like you
I really to hold you
I'd give the world to you, oh, my darlin'
You know I will, yeah, yeah
You know I will, I surely will

I will never do anything to hurt you
(I wouldn't do one single thing to you, babe)
I'll give all my love to you
(Gonna give every bit of my love, my love)
And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin' (yes, I will)
Only to you (to you, my baby, yes, I will)

Why don't we just lay down, baby
And hold each other real, real close
'Cause I don't want to rush you, baby (no, no, no, no, no)
If time, if time is what you need the most

I always wanted to love you
You could make all my dreams come true
I want to love you, love you tonight, oh, my darlin'
Yes, I do (na-na), yeah, yeah, yeah

I will never do anything to hurt you
(I will never do one little thing to you, baby)
I'll give all my love to you
(And I'm gonna give you every little bit of my love tonight, girl)
And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin'
(Oh, ho, yes, I will)
Only to you (only to you, baby, oh, oh, oh, I)

Mmm, mmm, now, now, now, now
Girl, I've been longing for you, baby, for a long, long time
Girl, let's make love tonight, babe
I can make you feel real good, baby
I can make you feel real good, baby
Sometimes, sometimes I get a little lonely, baby
(It gets so rough for me, baby)
And I need somebody I could call all mine
I need the love, so fine

So you are the one for me, baby
I know that you are the world for me, baby
(You are the world)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa

I will never do anything to hurt you
(Ooh, baby, baby, baby)
I'll give all my love to you




And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin'
Only to you
