Lyrics written by Mary Applegate & Marque
Music written by Marque

She walks alone
She has no home
Guess everybody has their cross

He needs to drink
Don't want to think
€˜bout all the poetry that's lost

Chorus:
For those who think that life is gone
For those who think there is no one
A little love would be enough
That's all

Up out of reach
We put our dreams
The grass is greener way beyond

Did we neglect?
To see the depth
Life is an ocean not a pond

Chorus:
For those who think that life is gone
For those who think there is no one
A little love would be enough
That's all

For those who think that life is gone
For those who think there is no one
A little love would be enough
That's all

No cash or gold can fill this hole
(shake your moneymaker)
What can't be bought now can't be sold
(can't be sold)





Just a little love would be enough
That's all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marque's song That's All talk about some of the struggles that people face in life, whether it's the feeling of being alone or the urge to drink to forget about things. The first verse describes a woman who walks alone and has no home, indicating that she may be homeless or perhaps just lonely. The second verse talks about a man who needs to drink, which suggests that he may be struggling with addiction or using alcohol as a coping mechanism. The chorus offers a message of hope, suggesting that even in the toughest of times, all someone needs is a little love to get through.


The next part of the song talks about our dreams and how sometimes they feel out of reach, leading us to imagine that things are better somewhere else. But the lyrics ask if we have neglected to see the depth of what is around us, pointing out that life is more than just what we see on the surface. The final chorus repeats the message of the song and reinforces the idea that, no matter how bad things seem, a little love would be enough to make a difference.


In essence, That's All is a song that encourages listeners to see the good in life and to hold onto hope, even when things feel difficult or impossible. It emphasizes the power of love and connection in helping people overcome their struggles, no matter how daunting they may seem.
