Norah Jones & the Peter Malick Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of your love, baby, can it be mine?
All of your love, baby, can it be mine?
I'll hate to be the one, the one that you left behind

All of your love, baby, don't you fool around
All of your love, baby, don't fool around
Love is a one thing, baby, that you won't find on the ground
All of your love - I've got to have it one of these days
All of your love - I've got to have it one day
Don't you leave me, sweet baby; please, come on back this way
Come on back this way

Give me all your love
Give it to me right now




All your love
Don't mess around with my love

Overall Meaning

The song "All Your Love" by Norah Jones and Peter Malick is a classic blues track that follows the traditional blues structure of asking for love and pleading to keep it from slipping away. The lyrics start with a question, "All your love, baby, can it be mine?" and a sense of desperation can be felt as the line, "I hate to be the one, the one that you left behind" suggests that the singer is afraid of being rejected. The second verse is a stern warning, "All your love, baby, don't you fool around, love is the one thing, baby, that you won't find on the ground." Here, the singer is cautioning their lover against playing games and insisting that real love can't be found just anywhere.


The chorus is a mix of begging and declaring what the singer needs, "All your love, I've got to have it one of these days, Don't you leave me, sweet baby; please, come on back this way." The repetition of the phrase 'all your love' emphasizes the singer's desire and need for their lover's affection. And finally, the last line is a clear warning to not mess around with the singer's love.
