Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves me all the time
No need for excuses
No pressures in my mind
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And I've been pushed over the line
But on your hand, it'd be broken
And I'll be all over this time
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
Love it all, love it all, love it all
And she said love it all, love it all, love it all
