All That I Can Say
Mary J. Blige Lauryn Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving you is wonderful
Something like a miracle
Rest assured I feel the same way you do
Meeting you isn't hard
With you I can't let down my guard
Stay secure that's all I'm asking from you
(Stay secure)
I wish I had words to tell (I wish)
This feeling that I know so well
But I don't, I don't

All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)

I've always been curious
Meeting someone serious
Looking for someone who loves like me
But the day I stopped my search
It seemed that you were put on this Earth
To show me everything I could not see

I wish I could find a way
To tell you how I felt that day
But I can't (I just can't)
I can't

All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)

Hmm, oh
Knowing him, loving him
Showing him that I'm all him
Living and forgiving and
I would do it all again
Genuine, Seraphim
Sweeter than cinnamon
Heaven-sent gentleman
Sent him here for loving him
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
(Do do, do do, do do, do)

He's all that I'll ever need
He's got a hold on me
I love you
Oh I don't want to live without you
You're all that I can say, hey
Loving you is wonderful
(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say




(Do do, do do, do do, do)
All that I can say
