All I Need
Mary Sarah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the only way to pacify my mind until I'm strong
The very thought of losing you chills me to the bone
And all I want to do is sing my song
All I want to do is sing my song
Don't want to think about the times she she done me wrong
I just want to ease my mind but the mem'ries are much too strong
All I want to do is sing my song
Maybe I'll find somebody else to help me sing along
There's something bout the melody makes the nights not seem so long
And all I want to do is sing my song
All I want to do is sing my song
And when the show is over I'll be waitin' by the phone
And if the phone starts ringin' with honey please come home
Who knows I might sing my way back home
