Give Me Everything
Staz feat. John Michael Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black cats creep across my path
Until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
Cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an "Airmail Special" too
Your answer was "Goodbye"
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you





Everything happens to me

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Staz feat. John Michael's song Give Me Everything, the singer laments about his bad luck, proclaiming that he must have angered the devil since everything seems to be going wrong for him. He explains that whenever he makes plans, something always goes awry, whether it rains during his golf game or his neighbor complains about his party. The singer concludes that he is resigned to a life of missed trains and catching colds.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's misfortunes, stating that he never misses an opportunity for something to go wrong, even when playing a seemingly unbeatable card in a game of cards. The singer recognizes that he is foolish since he never looks before he leaps into situations, leading to his string of bad luck. In the bridge, the singer expresses his hope that love with his partner would break his bad luck streak, but unfortunately, it only deepened his sense of despair. The singer admits to having mortgaged his dreams and aspirations on this love, only to be left heartbroken and alone, with nothing left but to accept that everything seems to happen to him.
