All Eyes On Me
Monica feat. Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Must not have been paying attention
I stepped right on in it
Didn't even notice how deep I was
I went from the ground to the top of the cloud
And now as I look down I see where I fell into your arms

Now I got love all over me
Baby, you touch every part of me
I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

Even my skin is changing
I'm feeling warmer
No more icy blue hearts for me
You put the color back in my life
And now where there was black and white I'm becoming iridescent

I got love all over me
Baby, you touch every part of me
I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

Before your love, baby, I was blinded
To think we painted--you took it from me
You showered me with a new beginning
Now I'm clean
Took me by surprise when you ran up on me
I came to life, baby, in that moment
You put your hands on my heart, baby
Now it beats

Now I got love all over me
Baby, you touch every part of me
I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

In your love
In your love
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered in your love




I
In your love

@ChyleTryMe

The ORIGINAL REELS TOO!!!

@rashawnda-professor2999

Good Morning. When Monica and Darkchild asked MJ for permission to sample PYT not only did he agree, he personally delivered the master recording to Monica with additional ad-libs that were unreleased.

@ChyleTryMe

@@rashawnda-professor2999 he’s was huge Monica fan. Asked her to perform at his Anniversary Special and for his Birthday.

@JY008

The vocal arrangement from 1:30-1:40 are very intricate to pull off and she makes it sound so simple. Brandy rightfully gets credit for her runs/riffs but Mo has a couple of 1 2 combos up her sleeve too lol.

@Jazmeyne

When I say I practiced this everyyyyyyyyyyyday omgggg that was such a cool part to me back then and now.

@EArmandE

The vocal production on this is astounding. Monica’s execution of lashawn’s direction is amazing

@doneboyremo

Darkchild the mastermind

@warrior1975ify
