All I Do
Stevie Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You made my soul a burning fire
You're getting to be my one desire
You're getting to be all that matters to me
And let me tell you girl

I hope and pray each day I live
A little more love I'll have to give
A little more love that's devoted and true
'Cause all I do is think about you

All I do (oh, baby)
Is think about you (think about you, baby)
All I do
Is think about you

Baby, just suppose I should happen to cross your mind
And by some chance a boy like me you're really been trying to find
Well let me tell you girl

Think of how exciting it would be
If you should discover you feel like me
If you should discover this dream is for two
We'll I'm gonna tell you girl

I'd light a candle every day
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new
'Cause all I do is think about you

All I do (oh, baby)
Is think about you (I think about you)
All I do (yeah, baby)
Is think about you

Gonna tell you girl
I'd light a candle every day
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new

I'm gonna tell you girl
If I cannot have you for my own
I'd rather be lonely and all alone
I'd rather keep thinking the way that I do
'Cause all I do is think about you

All I do (oh, baby)
Is think about you (think about you, baby)
All I do (oh oh, baby)
Is think about you (I think about you, baby)

All I do (yeah, baby)
Is think about you (think about you, baby)
All I do (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby )
Is think about you (all I do is think about you, baby)

All I do
Is think about you (I think about ya, baby)
All I do (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Is think about you (oh baby, baby, baby)

I'm thinking baby
'Bout you baby
I'm thinking baby
'Bout you baby
I'm thinking baby
Give it to me baby
I'm thinking baby (I'm thinking, thinking, yeah, yeah)
'Bout you baby (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah get on down)

All I do (gotta get on down)
Is think about you (whoa, whoa, whoa, get on down)
All I do (all I do is think about you, baby)
Is think about you (I think about you, baby)

All I do (oh baby)
Is think about you (can you feel, can you feel, can feel)
All I do (the fire burning can't you feel the birds humming)
Is think about you (think about you baby, oh oh)

All I do (can't you feel my love flowing, can't you see my love growing)
Is think about you (whoa)




All I do
Is think about you
