You Got It All
The Jets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, I was the game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?

You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him

No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you, I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me

Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?

You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him

Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him

Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got




'Cause you've got it all
Over him

Line by Line Meaning

I, I was the game he would play
I was his toy, someone he used to play with


He brought the clouds to my day
He made me feel sad and unhappy


Then like a ray of light
Then suddenly, like a miracle,


You came my way one night
You appeared in my life one night


Just one look and I knew
With just one glance, I realized


You would make everything clear
You would make everything easy to understand


Make all the clouds disappear
Make all sadness go away


Put all your fears to rest
Put all my worries to rest


Who do I love the best
Who do I love the most


Don't you know, don't you know?
Do you not understand?


You've got it all over him
You are much better than him in every way


You got me over him
You helped me get over him


Honey, it's true
My dear, it's the truth


There's just you
There's no one else, just you


You must have been heaven-sent
You must have been a gift from heaven


Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
You took a risk to help me when I asked for you


And you're all that he's not
You possess all the good qualities that he does not


Just look what I've got
Just see what I've found


'Cause you've got it all over him
Because you are better than him in every way


No, don't let him worry you so
Do not let him bother you too much


Once I met you, I let go
Once I met you, I moved on from him


Oh you can surely see
You can clearly see


You're so much more to me
You mean so much more to me


All over him
Better than him in every way
