Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want nobody but you
I don't want nobody else

I met a girl not long ago
And now she's the Apple of my eye
I love her so
I'll never let her go
Let me tell you the reasons why

She put so many things on my mind
And now i'm in love
She's the reason that love is blind
All i know is

All I really want is you
I don't want nobody else
All I really want is you only you only you
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you
I don't want nobody else
All I really want is you only you only you
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you youuuuu

She is more
Precious than gold
Were one heart beat
That share the same soul
I love her so
I want the world to know
Let me show you how she flows

She put so many things on my mind
And now i'm in love
She's the reason that love is blind
All i know is

All I really want is you
I don't want nobody else
All I really want is you only you only you
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you

All I really want is you only you only you
All I really want is you youuuuu

You mean more to me
Than anything in this whole world
That's why I'm so excited
To have you as my girl
There ain't nothing
That I won't do for youuuu
We'll be the example
That dreams do come true

All I really want is you
I don't want nobody else
All I really want is you only you only you
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you youuuuu
All I really want is you

Can't nobody love me like you
Can't nobody do me like you do
That's why I only want you
Only you

And now im in love
She's the reason that love is blind
All i know is
