All The Way
Kelly Rowland; R. Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We gonna let it smoke
What's baby?
I wanna hit that
You qanna hit this? (we gonna let it smoke)

It's three a.m. and I'm not with him
It's the moment that I know we've both been waiting for
Now we can pretend we're together again
In the dark letting this slow chill take control
And we ain't supposed to be doin this
We know the consequence
But we're past the limit and there ain't no turnin' back now
You already got my body gripped
Yeah boy you know I like that s***
So we're past the limit
And there ain't no turnin' back now

Might as well go all the way
Hey there ain't no such thing as a half mistake
So baby boy we might as well (might as well go all the way)
Might as well go all the way
Might as well go all the way
You don't know if your addicted till you relapse

From detox of lovin' each other
If just for an hour or two or three
Till six in the morning
Do you have a good excuse
To be on the down low with me
In the tele suite
We know that we ain't supposed to be doin this
We know the consequence
But we're past the limit
And there ain't no turnin back now
I already got the Magnum glove
You already got your a** poked up
So we're past the limit
And there ain't no turnin back now

Might as well go all the way
Hey there ain't no such thing as a half mistake
So baby boy we might as well, might as well go all the way
Might as well go all the way
Might as well go all the way
You don't know if your addicted till you relapse

I'm right back smokin' you
You're right back injectin' me
Love is in our veins ain't it
I'm right back smokin' you
You're right back injectin' me
Guess there ain't no cure
We might as well go all the way

You know you're wrong for this, I know
And I know you've got somebody, Oh well baby
But he ain't here no
So we might as well, might as well, do what we wanna do
You know how I like it, oh boy
Don't it feel good to be back together
If only for a moment, a minute, an hour
For just one night, one night
'Bout to hit it out the park again
Going, going, going gone
Going, going, going gone
Going, going, going gone




gone, gone, gone, gone
Close the curtains, potential remix, remix baby

Overall Meaning

In "All the Way," R. Kelly and Kelly Rowland sing about two people who know they shouldn't be together but can't resist the temptation. The chorus of the song is all about going all the way, which is a metaphor for taking risks and living in the moment. The opening lines are suggestive of smoking, but it can also be interpreted as using a metaphor for indulging in something dangerous.


The song's mood is slow and sexy, a perfect fit for a late-night rendezvous. The lyrics hint at secrecy and sneaking around, as the lovers are aware of the consequences of their actions. Despite this, they decide to "go all the way" and indulge in their desires, even if just for one night.


R. Kelly has been known for controversial lyrical content in his songs, and "All the Way" is no exception. The song can be interpreted as a celebration of adultery, which has not gone well with some listeners. Nevertheless, the song is still a popular R&B track that showcases R. Kelly's vocal range and production skills alongside Kelly Rowland's beautiful voice.

R. Kelly & Kelly R.
I love this song,
I'm Relapsing!

@user-td1me4tv3u

You know I R Kelly is in trouble messing with little girls. I'll say this if R Kelly where the type of guy and wanted to marry beautiful celebrity signer around his age I honestly believe he and that woman could have been more successful signing couple then Jay-Z and Beyonce

@user-td1me4tv3u

let's say R Kelly wanted to married a woman like Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys. I honestly think R Kelly and who ever one of them to be his wife he could of been just a successful signing couple as Jay-Z and Beyonce.
