All For Me
Omar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I go without seeing your face? Not many
I count the minutes dear
It’s the way you are always on my mind
I want you to know that I want you to myself
All for me
(All for me, all for me, all for me, yeah, yeah)
Please don't take it to be selfish wanting you all for me
It’s just the fact that nobody can take care of you
Just the way I do, I want you to know
There's love deep inside my heart
All for me
(All for me, all for me, all for me, yeah, yeah)
It doesn’t matter if you shop at goodwill
Salvation Army does me just fine
I'm used to walking round with small change
And baby girl you surpass a dime
If charity is what you be about
Then baby love we'll work it out
Because to me you're necessary
Nothing could ever tear me
From your love's one of a kind
All for me
(All for me, all for me, all for me, yeah, yeah)
All for me
(All for me, all for me, all for me, yeah, yeah)
All for me
(All for me, all for me, all for me, yeah, yeah)
