You Wanna Love Everybody
Sidibe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing above you, no no, ye-yeah
I'll miss you,
Touching you boy, wanting you boy
Touching you boy, wanting you boy
You know I gave it all to you
'Cause you're worth it
Time to let go,
Gotta stand on my own, be strong
'Cause I deserve it
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
But you can't love everybody
But you can't love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
What is the secret you're keeping?
What is the secret you're keeping?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
How can I keep on believing?!
Better watch out ‘cause I'm leaving,
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody

To be your girl it meant the world
I did everything that I should
I gave everything that I could
To show you it's not enough
To be in love
You keep telling me that you care,
But I'm not the type who can share

I don't want to
I won't ask you to explain
What would that change?
You'll always be a honeybee
To flowers

You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
But you can't love everybody
But you can't love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
What is the secret you're keeping?
What is the secret you're keeping?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
How can I keep on believing?!
Better watch out ‘cause I'm leaving,
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody

There was a time I didn't mind
I bought every line
Closed my eyes
And you never lied, didn't hide
Who you are?
No more your muse
Someone to use
There to gratify
When you're bored
Well, I'm not satisfied anymore
With flowers
So, when the latest one is gone
And you're alone
You're gonna miss
The way I kiss, the deepest

You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
But you can't love everybody
But you can't love everybody
You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody
What is the secret you're keeping?
What is the secret you're keeping?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
Why do you keep on deceiving?
How can I keep on believing?!
Better watch out ‘cause I'm leaving,




You wanna love everybody
You wanna love everybody

Overall Meaning

The song opens with the lines "Nothing above you, no no, ye-yeah / I'll miss you, / Touching you boy, wanting you boy / Touching you boy, wanting you boy," indicating an intimacy in the relationship. However, the singer has come to realize that the relationship is not enough for her and that she needs to stand on her own and find strength within herself. She sings, "Time to let go, / Gotta stand on my own, be strong / 'Cause I deserve it."


The chorus repeats the line "You wanna love everybody / But you can't love everybody," drawing attention to the partner's tendency to not be fully committed in the relationship.

The song ends with a warning that the partner will miss the singer's love and intimacy once they are no longer together.


Overall, "You Wanna Love Everybody" is a powerful message about the importance of standing up for oneself and leaving a relationship that is not fulfilling or healthy. The singer recognizes her own worth and refuses to settle for anything less than she deserves.
