You're All I Need
Mötley Crüe Lyrics
The blade of my knife
Faced away from your heart
Those last few nights
It turned and sliced you apart
This love that I tell
Now feels lonely as hell
From this padded prison cell
So many times I said
You'd only be mine
And loved you cyanide
When you took my lips
I took your breath
Sometimes love's better off dead
You're all I need make you only mine
I love you so I set you free
I had to take your life
You're all I need, you're all I need
And I loved you but you didn't love me
Laid out cold
Now we're both alone
But killing you helped me keep you home
I guess it was bad
Cause love can be sad
But we finally make the news
Tied up smiling
I thought you were happy
Never opened your eyes
I thought you were napping
I got so much to learn
About love in this world
But we finally made the news
You're all I need, make you only mine
I loved you so, so I put you to sleep

The blade of my knife
Faced away from your heart
Those last few nights
It turned and sliced you apart
This love that I tell
Now feels lonely as hell
From this padded prison cell
So many times I said
You'd only be mine
I gave my blood and my tears
And loved you cyanide
When you took my lips
I took your breath
Sometimes love's better off dead
You're all I need make you only mine
I love you so I set you free
I had to take your life
You're all I need, you're all I need
And I loved you but you didn't love me
Laid out cold
Now we're both alone
But killing you helped me keep you home
I guess it was bad
Cause love can be sad
But we finally make the news
Tied up smiling
I thought you were happy
Never opened your eyes
I thought you were napping
I got so much to learn
About love in this world
But we finally made the news
You're all I need, make you only mine
I loved you so, so I put you to sleep

This era of music is SLOWLY coming back.
So many think they’re “to good” to play music from that era.
One day they will wake up and think, what I’ve I been thinking? I love this music! Turn it up!
(Folk like myself will just smile 😊...... in fact it’s already happened, I run a tourist business. So it happens more and more each year because I been doing so long, I play my music.)
Peace ✌🏻
yeah

Even though Vince never said otherwise, he’s never been known to be a great singer,
His tone of voice back in this era......... well it’s like no other and just like the other 3 members, just can’t be replaced!
Yes Tommy, that’s you! Lol
Nikki, of course.....
But to the most under rated lead guitarist that I know of?
Yes, Mick Mars. The man plays almost flawlessly. Still today!!! (Not many play flawlessly for so many years)
And the sound he brought?
Well, like I said......
Each member brought a sound that can’t be replaced.
Thank you Mötley Crüe!!!
God Bless!

My baby brother was murdered by his girlfriend who he had 2 kids with. She constantly put knives to his throat, beat him savagely... he continued to go back because of the children and the intense feeling that "love" felt like. Now... he's the 240th homicide in our city for the year. Ironically stabbed in the heart. We're all broken beyond repair, and awaiting her charges for pre meditated homicide. Growing up, I was fascinated with this song playing it over and over on my little boom box radio. After watching the report on tv... all I could hear in my head was " but we finally made the news..." Domestic violence isn't a one way street! One of the most beautiful souls you'd ever know was taken by the hands of his affection. If you or anyone you know is in a situation lethal like this song or my brother's tragic tale, leave! You don't need a love like that. No matter how real or intense it is, it'll be the end of whatever you believe to be everything. I love and miss you James.

Master Jcp
Exactly why do we need gays kissing on tv for commercials NOT SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY BUT still why

@M H Bro grow up. This is not some conservative band you're listening to. The same things were said about this band back in the day. Mötley Crüe always hated conservative bastards cause y'all ruin the fun from others. Just let everyone listen to what the fuck they want to

@Riley Coyote good for you...let’s see what that does for you lol
