Everything I Love
SWV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spendin' money as I'm spendin' time
A million dollars ain't good enough
How can we communicate if we don't speak?
Baby don't let nothing break us, let's keep it concrete
Our hope is romantic, I can't stand this (no no no)
Never too much to be takin' this for granted (no no no, no no no)
Baby don't let nothing break us, let's keep it concrete
Boy, you're my heart and I'm down for you rich or poor
If you'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
You're my everything and it will hurt if you'll leave
I'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
You're my everything and it will hurt if you'll leave
We can move, but losing us ain't worth it
And maybe I'm a hold on (it's something worth it)
Like a pass and we drop the ball
I'm incomplete
Baby don't let nothing break us, let's keep it concrete
Boy, you're my heart and I'm down for you rich or poor
If you'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
You're my everything and it will hurt if you'll leave
I'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
I know nothing lasts forever
If we crawl we'll make it to the day after
Uuu, there's my, it'd better be you and me
Don't let nothing break us, let's keep it concrete
Boy, you're my heart and I'm down for you rich or poor
If you'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
You're my everything and it will hurt if you'll leave (You're everything)
I'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
Boy, you're my heart and I'm down for you rich or poor
If you'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love
You're my everything and it will hurt if you'll leave (You're my everything)
I'll still be right here
I put it all, everything I love

This album deserved a Grammy. It is just...solid.
Nath C
Definitely

This song is a ballad...this is why many of their fans are sleeping on it. The voice arrangement & instrumentals are totally 180 degrees of how they usually present their musical talent. It's still a beautiful song.

Love these ladies. Coko has such a powerful voice, sometimes you can sleep on how talented ALL of these women are individually. As a group.... 😌the harmonies just bang. This song reminded me why I fell in love with them in 1992❤️❤️❤️

Lelee stepped up on this album! Great song!

SWV does not need Autotunes. I know a lot of producers use it because it is the "in" sound. But it is the "in" sound because these current artists NEED it. SWV does not need it. Let their raw voices through. They can flat foot SING.
KingKG
Let's be clear! I Missed Us is a solid album it just didn't gain the pop success. Everything I Love is the best track on the album. Lelee killed her verse then Taj held the background, and Coko rode the beat til the wheels fall off!
