I'm All For You
Roy Eldridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let our friends say what they want to say
If I'm wrong I'll be the one to pay
No matter if it's true
You'll find that I'm all for you

Let the cards predict we'll drift apart
And the stars forfeit of broken heart
No matter it they do
You'll find that I'm all for you

I only know come what may
You'll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide

Let them all say that it's just a game
And I'm sure to lose




But just the same no matter if I do
You'll find that I'm all for you
