All That She Wants
T.E.R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning
Light and the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
O' what a morning
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching sun
Just laying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow boy
All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants - all that she wants

So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's a hunter you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It's a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of that is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you





All that she wants

Overall Meaning

is another baby. The lyrics of T.E.R.'s "All That She Wants" tells the story of a woman who leads a lonely life and seeks temporary pleasure in a casual sexual relationship. The woman wakes up one morning and decides that it's not a day for work, but rather a day to catch the sun and have some fun. She uses her beauty and charm to lure men into her life, with her sights set on having another baby. The listener is warned to beware of the flashing desire in her eyes because she's only in it for temporary pleasure.


One way to interpret the song is that it's a cautionary tale about the dangers of casual sex and not being upfront with intentions. The woman in the song is portrayed as a predator who preys on men to satisfy her desire for another child without considering the consequences or the needs of her partners. The song highlights the importance of being honest and respectful in relationships, and not using people for personal gain or pleasure.


Interestingly, the song has a catchy, upbeat melody that somewhat masks its dark lyrics. It was a massive hit when it was released in 1992, topping charts in various countries around the world. "All That She Wants" is still popular today and has been covered by multiple artists, cementing its status as a classic 90s pop song.
