All I Have
LL Cool J Lyrics

Love is life and life is living
Love is a crucial part of life which makes it worth living

It's very special
Love is something that holds great value

All my love
The singer is expressing their love for someone

Oh
Sighing sound expressing emotion

Baby, don't go
The singer does not want their partner to leave them

Baby, don't go (yeah)
The singer is urging their partner not to leave them

Baby, don't go, uh
The singer is pleading with their partner to stay

(Don't go) baby, don't go (yeah) (come talk to me)
The singer is asking their partner to come and talk to them instead of leaving

(I understand, just chillin') baby, don't go
The singer is trying to be understanding and wants their partner to stay calm and not leave

Yeah, yeah (why you act like that?)
The singer is questioning their partner's behavior and wants to know why they are acting this way

It's such a shame, but I'm leaving (leaving)
The singer is sad that they have to leave the relationship

Can't take the way you mistreated me (treated me)
The singer is leaving because their partner mistreated them

And it's crazy, but oh, baby (come on) (yo, uh, uh, uh)
The situation is difficult, but the singer still cares about their partner and wants them to come back

It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me
The singer is suggesting that their partner leaving won't affect them

I don't believe you wanna leave like this
The singer does not think that their partner truly wants to end the relationship

I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
The singer does not believe that the last time they kissed their partner will be the final time

I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
The singer believes that they will look back on their relationship and remember happier times

Wait a minute, don't bounce, baby let's talk about this, man
The singer is asking their partner to stay and discuss the situation

Well, I'm bouncing and I'm out, son (what you want baby)
The partner is leaving and asking what the singer wants

I gotta leave you alone (come on now)
The partner is saying they need to end the relationship

'Cause I'm good holding down my spot
The partner is saying that they are okay on their own

And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (don't go baby)
The partner is confident in themselves and their ability to find someone new

And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
The partner is saying that they are self-sufficient and don't need anyone else

So without me you'll be fine, right? (Come on, baby)
The partner is asking if the singer will be okay without them

All my pride is all I have
The singer is saying that their pride is important to them

Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have
The partner is suggesting that they are a better option than the singer's pride

You'll be needing me, but too bad
The partner is saying that the singer will regret not having them around

Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The partner is advising the singer to calm down and not make hasty decisions

The path you chose to run alone
The singer's partner has decided to leave and be on their own

I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
The partner believes that the singer is strong enough to be on their own

Here with me you had a home
The partner is saying that they were the singer's home

But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh (oh yeah)
The partner is asking why the singer would want to be alone when time is precious

The nights I waited up for you (oh, boy)
The singer waited up for their partner in the past

Promises you made about coming through
The partner made promises to the singer that they did not keep

So much time you wasted (uh, uh, uh)
The partner is suggesting that they wasted a lot of the singer's time

That's why I had to replace you
The partner had to move on because the singer was not the right fit

It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down
The singer is nervous about the idea of committing to one person

Especially me, I was creeping all over town (creepin')
The singer admits to cheating on their partner

I thought my tender touch could lock you down (yeah)
The singer believed that their love and affection would make their partner stay

I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
The singer was confident that their partner was theirs to keep

The way you used to giggle right before I put it down
The singer remembers how their partner used to laugh before they had sex

It's better when you angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here (come here)
The singer is suggesting that their partner should be angry with them so that they can make up by having sex

Stop playing
The partner is accusing the singer of not taking the situation seriously

You gamin'
The partner is accusing the singer of playing games with their emotions

And nothing will ever be the same, so just be on your way
The partner is saying that the relationship is over and they need to move on

Go ahead and do your thing now
The partner is suggesting that the singer should focus on themselves and their own goals

And there's no more to explain to me, you know
The partner believes that there is nothing left to say and the relationship is beyond repair

I know your game and I'm feeling what you do (come on now) (and I'm good)
The partner understands the singer's intentions and is doing okay without them

So I'm bouncing and I'm out, son (and I'm good)
The partner is leaving and doesn't want to continue the relationship

All my pride is all I have (don't bounce baby, don't bounce baby, don't bounce baby)
The singer is saying that their pride is important and they do not want to be rejected

You'll be needing me, but too bad (don't bounce baby)
The singer believes that their partner will regret their decision to leave

But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh (I'll always love you baby)
The singer is saying that time is important and they still love their partner

I promise you
The singer is making a promise to their partner

You just gotta give me a little time, baby
The singer is asking for time to work things out with their partner
